MUSEUM WEEK 2023

Museum Week provided an opportunity for participants to connect with like-minded people through the variety of events planned.

While the virtual panel discussions and case presentations were intended to inform and inspire, the exciting contests, competitions as well as on-ground activities in museum spaces gave heritage enthusiasts the chance to unlock their creativity and familiarise themselves with the immense potential that the Indian museum and culture sector holds.

Events

Museum Week organised Museum Walks in various cities including Bhopal, Bengaluru, Delhi, Goa, Hyderabad, Kolkata and many more in order to explore Indian Museums. These guided walkthroughs were led by experienced heritage walk leaders and were free of charge.
