On the second leg of his India visit, Tim Cook arrived in Delhi where he went around the crafts museum and the famous Lodhi Art district on Wednesday ahead of opening the company’s second official retail store in the country.
I could've spent the whole day at the National Crafts Museum & Hastkala Academy. From ancient and vibrant textiles to impossibly intricate wood carvings, it displayed India’s deep—and deeply beautiful— culture of craft.
