Most of these objects were part of her home, used lovingly and appreciatively; displayed with her particular sense of aesthetics. Nobody who visited Rukmini Devi's home could fail to be entranced by the way she transformed each room into a gracious and elegant space. Everywhere you turned, you encountered something that pleased the eye and delighted the senses with its beauty and the perfection with which it was placed.

Among the objects on display are some examples of her collection of paintings and photographs, some porcelain from China and from Europe, bronze images of gods and goddesses and brass vessels used in the home and in the puja room. Also on display is some furniture, including her writing desk, crockery and cutlery which were part of her household and many lamps of varied sizes, which were lit for daily prayers and for special festive occasions.

Among other things, Rukmini Devi enjoyed collecting animal figurines. She took pleasure in these small representations of animals that she loved and worked so hard to protect through her involvement with the Animal Welfare Board.

If you or your families have any papers, photographs or other relavant material which you think might add to our collection, they would be most gratefully received and acknowledged. We would like the museum to be an ongoing process of gathering and sharing the legacy that Rukmini Devi left for rasikas from all over the world.
