About this audio guide
This guide to Anokhi Museum in Jaipur tells how John and Faith Singh founded Anokhi in 1970 to save Jaipur's fading craft of hand-block printing, working with local artisans to bring it back to the modern market. You'll hear how they later restored a ruined sixteenth-century haveli below Amer Fort, winning a UNESCO conservation award in 2000, and how John's daughter-in-law Rachel Bracken-Singh opened these doors as a museum in 2005. It traces the family's decades of saved designs, blocks and tools now on display across three floors.
