Calico Museum of Textiles, Kite Museum, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Memorial, Lalbhai Dalpatbhai (LD) Museum and Vechaar Utensils Museum are all closed on Mondays, which leaves only Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya and Auto World Vintage Car Museum.<\/li>\n<li>The Kutch, Watson, Lakhota and Darbar Hall museums close on Wednesdays and on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays.<\/li>\n<li>Three museums break for lunch: the Kutch Museum from 1 pm to 2:30 pm, the Watson Museum from 12:45 pm to 3 pm and the Darbar Hall Museum from about 1:15 pm to 2:45 pm.
