Museum of Art and Photography!
Recommended for Middle Grades
The Museum of Art and Photography (MAP) in Bangalore is a fascinating example of India’s evolving engagement with the visual arts as a cultural form.
In 2016, an industrialist launched a charitable project as a digital platform. The goal was to make his extensive collection of art, photography, and textiles available to the general public.
Since that time, the museum has begun a number of educational projects in partnership with renowned museums from around the world. This includes the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
In addition to industry leaders in the field of technology, such as Accenture and Microsoft.
