The Museum of Art & Photography (MAP)
As a public-facing institution, the museum is committed to expanding access to art and visual culture from India and South Asia. Since opening to the public in February 2023, MAP has welcomed over 300,000 visitors—the majority of whom are under 35 and visiting a museum for the first time. With an international audience and a local community predominantly new to museum-going, MAP has positioned itself as a space for dialogue, learning, and long-term engagement, prioritising accessibility, transparency, and care at every level of its work.
