Urusvati Museum Of Folklore — Attraction in Gurugram District

First and foremost.. accessibility to this museum is not easy. A moderately active person will take at least 10 to 15 mins to walk uphill n reach this place. An old Russian woman interested in visiting this museum had to pass it because physically it was too difficult for her to walk the steep path.

When I told her that I have never seen a museum staff lying down on a bench while 'on duty' she simply said there are CCTVs everywhere n when the management does not have a problem , I am no one to object about this. When I asked for a complaint book or her employee id she simply refused to share it.

All in all, I hoped for a better experience here which I...

A woman's passion to keep folklore alive some 20 kms from Gurgaon. Once you manage to reach Urusvati you will love the slowness ofnlife and trees. The museum isn't the most in-depth study of various states and their culture but it doesn enough to make you forget about metropolis...
