About Prachina Bikaner Cultural Centre & Museum :

PRACHINA Bikaner Cultural Center and Museum was established by Siddhi Kumari daughter of Late Maharaja Narendra Singhji of Bikaner in 2000, at the beginning of the new millennium with a vision to preserve Bikaner's rich cultural diversity and to showcase monolithic identity of Bikaner in form of a Museum. Siddhi Kumari's endavour is in line with the Bikaner Royal Family's rich and glorious tradition of establishing institutions for public benifits
Cultural Center works towards promoting local artists by providing them space within the museum complex to demonstrate and sale their works of art. The center also aims at developing the revival of the folk performing arts of Marwar region and its oral traditions.

The Cultural center is working towards documenting the museum's collection and cultural heritage of this princely state. Library of the center has rich collection of books on history art and culture of Bikaner and is accessible to scholars and interested visitors. Currently Artist Vishnu Mehra showcases his pastels and oils on canvas and paper combining western form of art with folk themes. Also various other artists and Ustakars work on the premises demonstrating their skills and craft.
