#ExploreBangaloru - (Part -1) - MAP - Museum of Arts and Photography - TravellerG

Hi, my dear friends,

The Museum of Arts and Photography (MAP) in Bangalore, India, is a contemporary cultural institution dedicated to showcasing a diverse range of art forms, with a particular focus on South Asian Art and Photography. Opened in February 2023, it was conceived as a ‘space’ to celebrate India’s rich artistic heritage alongside contemporary and experimental works, spanning photography, textiles, sculpture, and painting. There are many artefacts in 3D also.

MAP’s unique approach combines traditional exhibits with digital innovations. It aims to create an interactive visitor experience, offering virtual tours, educational programs, and workshops. I have read that the museum houses over 60,000 artworks, making it one of the most extensive collections in South Asia. Its exhibitions and programs often focus on themes of social relevance, such as heritage, and visual culture’s evolution in a rapidly growing society.

I visited MAP along with our fellow LG @Mukund_hirapara during his visit to Bangalore. We had a wonderful time.
MAP also emphasises accessibility and inclusivity. Its digital collection, MAP Academy, offers a free online encyclopedia of South Asian art, making scholarly and artistic resources available to a global audience.

*Important:
Tuesday: Free entry to all exhibitions, all day.

Beautiful sculptures and photos from MAP you shared with us @TravellerG. I think MAP feels like a place I visited in Trivandrum called Kerala Art and craft Village. The pit forward handcraft works from all over Kerala.

As photography and painting is mentioned, above image is a Cave painting found in Kerala (from Keralam - Museum of History and heritage)

2023? No doubt I did not hear about his amazing place when living in BRL from 2016 to 2020

The photos do great justice to the artifacts, they look wonderful :+1:

And 60k objects to marvel at means we can spend a great deal of time at this museum @TravellerG

Nearby museums and art galleries make this a must-visit place in Bengaluru.
