YOU need to know your history to understand your world today and walk confidently into the future,” my father said these words to me when I first visited the City Palace Museum in Jaipur with him serving as my guide. Every time I walk into a museum, these words ring true.
From an early age, I’ve been fortunate to explore some of the most prestigious and best-run museums across the world. It was enthralling for me to visit the Louvre in Paris, the Vatican Museum in Vatican City, the Victoria & Albert Museum and the British Museum in London. I have also made multiple learning trips to the National Museum in Delhi, the Mehrangarh Fort Museum in Jodhpur, the City Palace Museum in Jaipur and the Indian Museum in Kolkata. It is thanks to my parents that I got exposed to this wonderful world.
Initially, I lacked interest in spending time in museums but as I began to see and learn, it gradually developed into a deep interest. As time went by, I started to make the connection between what I absorbed in museums and my curriculum-based learning at school. I have become deeply committed to visiting as many museums as I can and opening this world for others through providing them physical and virtual access.
