What comes to your mind when you think of a museum? Vast corridors of art and artefacts neatly lined and safeguarded behind a glass barricade. However, these days the dynamics have changed, and history and art are finding their way into museum cultures. In a first, Bihar Museum will be hosting Museum Biennale in India in an all-new hybrid avatar. The Museum will be inaugurated on March 22, 2021, on the auspicious occasion of Bihar Diwas.
