Bangalore Palace, India ShutterstockThe Museum of Art and Photography (MAP) in Bengaluru, India finally opened to the public this month, providing a first look at a 60,000-item selection that has the potential to rewrite the art history of the subcontinent. Consider its featured exhibit, “Visible/Invisible,” which examines how women have been portrayed throughout Indian art history. The museum receives private donations like most Indian art institutions. The Indian Ministry of Culture’s entire budget for the coming year is 30.1 billion rupees ($362 million), 46% more than the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the largest art museum in the US. The Museum of Art and Photography in Bengaluru is hosting “Visible/Invisible: Representation of Women in Art through the MAP Collection” until December 1, 2025.
