New Delhi: Mumbai airport's latest international terminal boasts of a three kilometre long wall adorned with 7,000 artefacts from across the country. A slice of this gateway of sorts to Indian art is likely to go online soon and help passengers purchase replicas of some of the artefacts.
Passengers will be able to access the database on information iPads stationed at various locations close to the wall at T2 terminal and get in touch with the artists to place orders, a company executive said, adding that subsequently the database will also be available on the airport website's page titled 'Jaya He'.
Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), the GVK-led consortium which envisaged the concept and commissioned the works for the Rs 5,500 crore terminal is building an online database of the 1,500 contributing artists.
"The intention is to form a link between the various passengers who admire the artworks at the airport and the artists, perhaps not so known, who have made them," said an MIAL spokesman.
