Project Brief: Indian Museum is the oldest and largest museum in our country. Founded on 2nd February 1814 by Dr. Nathanial Wallich, a Danish Botanist, the Indian Museum is the first Museum in the Asia-Pacific region and has played the role of a leader in setting the tone for the museum movement in the continent. In its two centuries of history, the Indian Museum, considered as the first National Museum in India, has grown enormously in terms of its collections and scope, and has now become one of the largest repositories of the nation’s cultural heritage. The proposed work is for designing and recuration of selected gallery spaces of the museum. The broad objective is to introduce modern display techniques and presentation of the artefacts, conceptualising of the galleries with emphasis on interpretation, building storyline with appropriate narrative with appropriate contextualization to achieve international standard in respect of design, display, interaction spread over multiple halls of the museum building.
