Event Description : TALK "Capacity Building : Museums In India". 

Museums preserve historical evidence of the ways in which culture and religion were practiced in previous times; and they may demonstrate the practices and beliefs of past periods which are very different from the way traditions and religions are popularly perceived today. This is frequently subject to attack: how can this evidence be protected?
With the construction of Smart Cities, SEZs and Metros, the Museum’s role in representing history is more important than ever before as the challenge of saving and interpreting cultural heritage becomes greater with the rapid pace of development.
The importance of museums has been recognized widely by the media and in government circles in India.

Accompanying Event : TALK on Museums & Protection of Cultural Heritage at British Council, 17, Kasturba Gandhi Marg > 6:30pm on 12th September 2016
