Calico Museum of Textiles is one of the finest museums to be set up in India. It was inaugurated in the year 1949 by the then Prime Minister of India, Jawahar Lal Nehru.

Calico museum is the world's best museum on textiles. Ahmedabad has been a major textile trade center sine the 15th century.

A number of researchers and scholars visit the place for a better understanding of the industry. Calico museum showcases a plethora of things, apart from textiles and fabrics. One can see handicrafts, temple artifacts and marble, bronze and sandstone icons here. It preserves fabrics, spun and woven in the different parts of the nation.
