A new museum celebrating Indian art is scheduled to open in Bengaluru, India, later this month.
Called the Museum for Art & Photography (MAP), the museum is the brainchild of Indian collector Abhishek Poddar and, once open, will be one of the most significant offerings in the city’s museum district.
Designed by local architecture firm Mathew and Ghosh, the museum will feature four galleries across 4,088sq m (44,000sq ft) and will be home to more than 60,000 works donated from the private collections of Podder and Indian businessmen Rahul Sabhnani and Deepak Puri.
Described as a ‘digital age museum with a focus on digital storytelling and innovation,’ the museum, which began life as a digital encyclopedia of Indian art, will also boast an extensive collective of digital works with projects planned with Accenture and Microsoft.
MAP will open its doors on February 18.
