Cluster of Museum Exhibition

Cluster of Museums, organized by Kolkata Centre for Creativity in collaboration with Paschim Banga Sangrahalaya Samiti on the occasion of World Heritage Week 2021, was a one-of-a-kind exhibition. The exhibition was centred around the theme of ‘The Future of Museums: Recover & Reimagine’. The aim was to develop healthy relationships between different museums in society and to re-ignite an interest in experiencing museums among the masses. In order to ensure a sustainable and viable future for the museums, especially for the smaller yet significant ones, we must reaffirm the museum culture for preserving our past and paving the path to the future. The year 2020 has been crucial with respect to the way we view museums and how the latter have developed. From being dependent on physical space to going online, museums have undergone a sea change. They are in a state of flux. The time is now ripe to embrace the changing mindset and rethink the way we can go back to relishing the experience of museums. Our exhibition, Cluster of Museums aimed to facilitate the experience of physically visiting museums for the community. This multifaceted and interactive exhibition showcased our cultural heritage, scientific achievements, and past glories by featuring diverse and rich collections from 10 different museums, 4 private collections, and 1 institution. An exchange of this kind between the museums and the public is expected to change the way the museum is viewed and experienced in today’s world.
