Series of walks and events will familiarise participants with places linked to the rich history of Bengal art
Every city has its share of museums, but can a city turn into a museum so that a clear connection is established between it and what’s inside its museums? Something like this is going to happen in Kolkata later this week, when a 10-day-long series of walks and events will familiarise participants with places linked to the rich history of Bengal art.
The set of events is being organised by DAG Museums, the curator of Ghare Baire, a popular museum-exhibition that showcases 200 years of art in Bengal and that’s housed in the 188-year-old but recently restored Currency Building located in the heart of Kolkata.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
