Briefly describe the history of the museum, its collection and donors.
Gujarat is known for its kite festival and the art of kite-making. The Kite Museum, located inside the iconic Sankar Kendra building built by the French architect Le Corbusier, houses some 125 rare and uniquely designed kites that showcase the history of kite making in Gujarat.
The collection was donated by Mr. Bhanubhai Shah- a kite lover who has been collecting kites since he was 21 years old. As his collection expanded, it was later converted into a museum in the year 1986.
