FORGING PARTNERSHIPS & COLLABORATIONS
THROUGH THE MAP COLLECTIONS

MAP is custodian to a series of growing collections currently comprised of more than 60,000 artworks, predominantly from the Indian subcontinent and dating from the 12th century to the present. The collections are organized in six key departments: Photography, Pre-Modern, Modern & Contemporary, Living traditions, Textile, Craft & Design and Popular Culture. These collections form the nucleus of the Museum’s exhibitions, and are also available to researchers and for loan from qualifying institutions and museums, both in India and abroad.

MAP has been actively building an art loan program for local, national, and international institutions and welcomes expanding it to museums and cultural institutions in the United States. In recent years objects from the MAP collections have formed part of exhibitions in several museums including the Tate (London), Indian Heritage Centre (Singapore) and the National Museum (Bahrain).
