There is a singular, remarkable effort going on at Mumbai's Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum (BDL) in Byculla.
The oldest museum in Mumbai is restoring a tradition from a time when the posts of museum curator and Sir J.J. School of Art principal were held by the same person and works of artists from the school would be put on display at the museum.
In a rare public-private endeavor in the arts, Tasneem Mehta, the BDL's honorary director, has revived the museum's engagement with contemporary art in Mumbai and created a unique opportunity to see art of the present in an historic space.
