“For the longest time, it has been Bengaluru based art collector, Abhishek Poddar’s dream to open a private museum in the garden city. Everything was going per plan when Covid 19 played spoiled sport and put a spanner in the fast turning wheels of the project. After the years of effort that Poddar had put into his pet project, Covid and the pandemic weren’t going to stop him. 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.”
