The rural museum, surrounded by trees, is a miniature depiction of typical Indian village. Over 15 life-
sized huts, authentically constructed out of baked clay and thatch, depict rural and tribal lifestyles and the
life of various artisans. It provides a window to rural life for city dwellers and those who have never
visited a village before. The museum houses sculptures and life size models depicting the day-to-day
activities of the rural artisans.

Rock Museum
Shantiniketan's Subroto Basu has fashioned a rock garden here by
blending his own rock collections with the rock formations found
