We visited the local Government Museum (Sanskar Kendra) also housing the Kite Museum. The Government Museum showcases relics and antiques pertaining to all the religious faiths followed in India, except Buddhism, which we felt was a glaring blunder.
The Kite Museum traces the origins of the practice of kite flying right from 200- 1200 B.C. till date. The Manager there bluntly told us that we were supposed to actually read the information displayed alongside the specimens of various kites, or else we would finish our visit in barely 2 minutes. We chuckled inwardly. We had planned on gleaning information which was why we were there in the first place! This hall was well-maintained and well-lit.
Both the museums were deserted as we experienced a walk down history, at our own unhurried pace. Obviously, this place was somewhere last or optional on the regular tourists’ itinerary. Was it because photography is banned there?
The complex also has statues of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Rao Bahadur Runchorelal Chotalall, the person who set up the first cotton mill in Ahmedabad.
Some yards away, stood the Pandit Rabindranath Tagore Hall which was hosting some cultural program right then, as several vehicles were neatly parked outside. The washroom outside the museum presented a sorry state of affairs. It was probably the dirtiest washroom in Ahmedabad (in our opinion!). The wash basin’s tap wasn’t functioning too! To my horror, a man entered the ladies' washroom just after I walked out! Probably he couldn't read the sign-boards...
We also noticed that the building housing the Museum, though very spacious, had a very unimaginative and drab facade of plain red bricks. We were surprised to learn that it had been designed by the famed Le Corbusier who had planned the elegant Chandigarh!
The Government must spruce up the museum's premises as well its interiors. Security must also be tightened.

Located in the beiulding designed by architect la corbusier........it has more than 1000years history of kite making, technique of flying and marketing....... display clearly evolves how geometry and patterns make kites beautifull and flying them needs skill and craft as a sport.

who doesn't love kite flying, specially in ahmedabad.. during utarayan festival, Ahmadabad enjoys full day of kite flying, and if you love some history, then visit this museum to know history about kites, you may like it.

Franchement sans intérêt. Dans une espèce de bâtiment en ruine. Pas très intéressant et très petit. Il y a autre chose à voir.

AERIAL ORIGAMI
The Patang Kite Museum languishes in the hold of the derelict Sanskar Kendra Building that seems to sway this way and that on its moorings, manned by a skeleton crew of three languid men draped around a table and a woman in the bridge above, fast asleep in her chair.
That said, the museum is the only repository of kite history, belying this unbeloved city's enormous tradition and enthusiasm for this particular form of aerial origami. Those tubelights that survive blearily light up panels of Indian kites from the past, exquisite works of perfectly balanced bamboo and filigrees of paper lovingly cut by long gone Scissorhands. Other panels reproduce manually a Google search of kite history, in no particular context, but nevertheless one that evokes and reminds us of man's long fascination for flying. This stroller missed though, the presence and preservation of those other pieces such as sharp मान्जा thread and bamboo लटाई reels, so essential an arsenal for the art of kite fighting. The budding designer from nearby NID, familiar perhaps only with the quadcopters of her age, might improve her mind researching and working upon this important site.
Decrepit and dusty, housed in the impressive, unkempt quarters of the modernist Sanskar Kendra Building by Le Coubusier, the Kite Museum is simultaneously a memorial to the city's cosmopolitan past, of religions and communities living cheek-by-jowl in the crowded mohalla, its Hindus, Muslims, Parsis, Sikhs and Christians calling out to each other from the bantering rooftops as the kites engage in the skies above them, weaving a skien of the only form of jostling rivalry acceptable to humanity.
A cosmopolitan history, conveniently forgotten

Visit here if you are really interested in knowing more about kites and its history related to Ahmedabad city. While visiting this place one can also visit Sanskar Kendra situated in same building. Both museums are poorly maintained.

What an interesting place. Especially relevant as we there just the day before the International Kite festival. Ahmedabad has hosted the International Kite Festival as part of the official celebration of Uttarayan for 27 years. Just one more wonderful highlight on a Gujarati visit

A small one but an awesome one. So inspiring, and I have never imagined in my dreams kites so crazy or with such vibrant motifs and colours. Must go!
