The foundation is committed to preserving and promoting Indian cultural heritage by connecting the arts to the community. Through two ongoing projects, Museum of Art and Photography (MAP) and MAP Academy, we are dedicated to furthering the awareness, education and conservation of Indian art and heritage. By creating engaging spaces of ideas, storytelling, dialogue and cultural exchange, we aim to build and invoke curiosity, awareness and appreciation of heritage, arts and culture across all demographics and backgrounds.
