How We Share 83 Museum Objects with Mumbai

This film follows the journey of a cat mummy from the British Museum to Mumbai, as part of a major international loan of 83 objects to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS). From conservation and packing in London to installation in the gallery, we go behind the scenes to reveal the people, care and collaboration involved in sharing museum collections across continents. The loan supports CSMVS’s re-imagined Ancient World Gallery, developed in partnership with museums around the world and connected to the Getty Foundation’s Ancient Worlds Now programme. At its heart is the idea of the museum as a classroom — a space for learning, questioning and understanding how human histories are shaped by centuries of exchange. 00:00 Introduction Charis Millett 00:54 Introduction Joyoti Roy, Assistant Director, CSMVS 01:39 Conservation with Aliki Boutzia 03:36 Packing the objects with Sarah Choy 06:36 Installation in Mumbai 07:01 The Museum as a classroom with Vaidehi Savnal, Assistant Director, CSMVS 08:24 Our shared humanity 08:53 The Networks of the Past gallery is now open
