Bengaluru: A city of museums

Bengaluru might be known as the pub capital and Silicon Valley of the country, but the art and culture scenario here is something which is not always in the spotlight. While museums are often associated with ancient artefacts and historical figures, those in Bengaluru are now shedding that image with dedicated ones coming up for photography, music and other fields. Thousands of people visit them daily, and the numbers shoot up during weekends. The Hindu made a date with museums in the city to find out how these spaces are doing in the post-pandemic times while also exploring the diverse exhibits on display
