MUSEUMS

The Photo-Archive of the Center for Art and Archaeology houses surveys of 350 museum collections in India, and the results of several documentation projects - some of which were commissioned and funded by the Government of India and carried out by CA&A staff. The collections cover sculptures, paintings and coins housed in government and private museums all across the country. The ‘Museums’ section of the VMIS contains these images from CA&A’s photo archive as well as images of museum collections shared by contributors across the globe.
