Pamuk's grand ode to memory and love where he says the true collector's home is his own museum is also saying we are all part of living museums that constantly evolve. But a museum isn't a graveyard. While museums have no political power, they could influence the political process by questioning the archival process. For instance, a living museum by Eric Miller, Director of the World Storytelling Institute, is a museum without walls. It could be a house, a village, or any place. Even social media.
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.
