The history of India in one exhibition
A rare collection spanning two million years of history is on display in an exhibition in the Indian city of Mumbai.
The India and the World: A History in Nine Stories exhibition is chronologically divided into nine sections that together account for 228 artefacts, from sculptures and pottery to portraits and drawings.
It opened on 11 November at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS), Mumbai’s biggest museum. It will run until 18 February 2018, after which it is expected to travel to the capital Delhi.
Its aim, according to CSMVS director Sabyasachi Mukherjee, is “to explore connections and comparisons between India and the rest of the world”.
