A Museum in Bangalore Has Launched a Free Online Encyclopedia Covering 10,000 Years of Indian Art History

An upstart museum in India has launched an open-source digital encyclopedia of information related to the subcontinent’s rich artistic history, dating from 10,000 years ago to the present.

Included on the free platform, which went live last week, are thousands of articles on famous artists, movements, disciplines, techniques, and other topics; on the Bengal School of modernist painters, for instance, and the Bagh embroidery tradition of Punjab. Scrolling through is an experience akin to page-hopping on Wikipedia, though the information is more organized and comprehensive—and credible.
