Quick answer

The Sri Pratap Singh (SPS) Museum is Kashmir's main museum, with collections of papier-mâché, shawls, carpets, arms, manuscripts, coins and archaeological finds from sites around the valley. It's the best place to understand Kashmir's crafts and history in one visit, especially on a cold or rainy day.
