The presence of Tin Tin in the museum space may be an odd choice for some. But this is what childhood means for several people across the world. Comics Art Museum in Belgium curates cartoon characters and gives the audience a walk through childhood memories and innocence. At a time when adulting is too fast, the survival of childhood in the museum space gives us hope for a better day. Outlook India in collaboration with Bihar Museum looks at all those innovative Museums that evoke memories to shape the future discourse.

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.
