BLR Airport’s Terminal 2 adds new art displays

Digital experiences and art exhibits related to South Asian heritage and culture have been added to Terminal 2 of Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport. These collections are part of the Museum of Art & Photography (MAP), located in the centre of the city.

At the domestic terminal, flyers can explore a digital collection featuring works by artists such as Jamini Roy, Jangarh Singh Shyam, Jyoti Bhatt, Suresh Punjabi, and L N Tallur, along with the museum’s ephemera collection focused on Bollywood posters, stills, and lobby cards. Other digital features include touch-based games that turn iconic works like ‘Universe’ by S H Raza and ‘The Lotus Sellers’ by N S Bendre into puzzles, a digital ceremonial lamp-lighting feature, and animated digital greetings inspired by art. A section also offers art-centric inspired souvenirs and pieces for purchase.

At T2’s international terminal, an exhibition highlighting the journey of Padma Shri awardee Bhuri Bai, a Bhil artist, is currently on display.

T2 is already home to 210 artworks.
