The artefacts used by our ancestors not only evoke nostalgia, rather it gives us a sense of belonging. Museum of Royal Tombs in Peru showcases tombs of Lord of Sipan besides 14 other members of Moche civilisation. It also displays the royal jewels, regal vessels etc. These memories of things make us believe that we all had a past that is buried underneath awaiting excavation.

The Delhi event will also become a museological space for an evening to look at everyday objects from Bihar from a not-so-distant past and their relationship with memory and culture and inclusive representation of various identities and crafts.

In a unique collaboration with Bihar Museum, the Outlook Group brings a series of panel discussions on museums, their roles, and their evolution as part of the Bihar Museum Biennale’s second edition - as the second of such discussions take place on 24th June at Bikaner House, New Delhi.
