Lucknow artisans

What does it mean to truly know a city? For 28-year-old Taqi Abbas, born into Lucknow’s storied Nawabi heritage, it meant unearthing the forgotten corners of his hometown. From documenting artisans like Battu Bhai to stepping inside the Clock Tower, Lucknow Uncovered is more than a page. It’s a love letter to a city that still whispers its past, if you know where to listen.

A museum born from the Sanatkada Lucknow Festival, Lucknow Bioscope is preserving crafts, music, and untold stories of the city — straight from its lanes and local artisans.
