    The Crafts Museum's architecture is a brilliant example of a "museum without walls. " It is a campus of various mud huts and structures, designed to look like a cluster of village homes from different parts of India. The buildings are made of natural materials like mud, wood, and thatch, and are built using traditional techniques. The entire complex is laid out around open courtyards and pathways, creating a rustic and authentic atmosphere. The architecture is as much a part of the exhibit as the crafts themselves, showcasing traditional Indian building styles.
