Mumbai : An airplane ticket serves as the ticket to enter the museum.
Travellers who pass through the new T2 terminal building at Mumbai Airport can pass the time waiting for their flight by viewing an art exhibition.
The art show stretches some 3 kilometres along the elegantly curving walls of the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport.
Modern art is at home here alongside 1,000-year-old artefacts from all around India. Artfully carved window frames from Rajasthan and wooden temple carts are among the items, as well as terra cotta horses, totem figurines, masks and statues of gods.
Even before the museum was officially opened, the premier of the state of Jammu and Kashmir excitedly tweeted a picture of a wall made of hand-painted papier mache, a 400-year-old tradition in his Himalayan region. The painting depicts mosques with their pointed roofs in the style typical of the region, colourful houses, and houseboats which are a favourite of today's tourists visiting Dal Lake.
