Under Western Eyes: Sanganer Exhibition @ Anokhi Museum of Hand Block Print, Amer

Last weekend I went to the Anokhi Museum of Hand Block Print at Amer fort. The museum is in a beautifully-restored Haveli adjacent to Amer fort, about 45 minutes outside of Jaipur. The Anokhi museum uses the space as a place to exhibit historical examples of Sanganer block printmaking. The style has been slowly displaced by newer, more efficient silkscreen printing methods, but Anokhi has done a great job (both commercially and, as evidenced by this museum, academically) preserving these traditions for current and future generations to admire and replicate.
