About The Thar Heritage Museum
Again, another top notch museum allowing visitors to transport themselves back in time to a forgone era, in this case, the desert tribes of the Thar. Located within a stone’s throw of the main bazaar. The museum was established, and is still run by Mr. Laxmi Khatri. He will show you around the place as he explains the pieces and their significance. Organic, if a little underfunded, all visitors should find it in their heart and itinerary to track this place down.
