On Day 16, the students visited the Museum of Arts and Photography, a beautiful place dedicated to the conservation of India’s rich artistic heritage. They had the privilege of meeting the founder, who shared his passionate mission to preserve the country’s legacy. The students learned that photography, often overlooked as an art form in India, plays a crucial role in capturing and preserving moments in history. As one student reflected, “I learned about new art styles which use materials that can easily be destroyed if they are not properly taken care of. And in the colonial period, India wasn’t really getting much photos, so I like that this studio exists to conserve these things.”
