“It didn’t take Punjabi long to establish himself as the chronicler of that Great Indian Dream, although his role was acknowledged, and is being celebrated, only in the last decade or so.”
“A year that was not going so well, turned out to be an opportunity that Poddar couldn’t let slip. His plans for a museum in Bengaluru finally saw light when he launched MAP (Museum of Art & Photography) mid-December 2020, albeit digitally.”
“The museum situated on Kasturba Road, will be physically launched in 2021, but owing largely to the pandemic and its ensuing consequences, it was decided to pre launch the MAP virtually.”
“This year has been full of heartbreaking news but here’s a small slice of something good for art lovers. The Museum of Art and Photography (MAP) is planning to have a digital launch of the museum with its virtual festival: Art (is) Life, from Dec 5-11, to celebrate various art forms.”
“MAP in Bengaluru was able to launch the digital wing of the museum that started operations with a week-long festival celebrating the various forms and history of art, while also blurring geographical lines of boundary.”
“South India’s first major private museum balancing heritage, traditional art and technology, opens in Bengaluru on Friday.”
