We are drawing at the Museum of Art and Photography this Sunday, on International Museum Day!
The Museum of Art & Photography (MAP), located in the heart of Bengaluru, is a pioneering institution dedicated to making art accessible and engaging for all. MAP houses a diverse collection of over 60,000 works, including paintings, sculptures, textiles, and photographs, reflecting the rich artistic heritage of South Asia. Visit their website to see the current exhibits: https://map-india.org/
