Product Description

The Story of a Sikh Museum examines the Bhai Mati das Museum at Sisganj Gurdwara in Old Delhi, one of the most significant Sikh shrines in India. Unlike traditional museums, this museum is well known for its remarkable display, being entirely made up of modern history paintings rather than artifacts of historical value. This book explores the visual elements and storytelling in these paintings, and those who support their creation. These elements set the Sikh museums apart from a typical museum in both Western and South Asian contexts, defying an easy characterization.
