Even as India unlocks in various phases, a whim of a trip to a museum in the city, spending the day soaking in art, history and culture, still seems out of bounds. But city-based consultancy Art X Company's latest offering safely allows one a peek into not just Mumbai's museum circuit, but India's too — without having to move from the couch. From museums in Udaipur to Kolkata, and virtual gallery hopping in Mumbai to a musical instruments workshop organised from Bengaluru, the second edition of Ghar Se Museum, promises to be a celebration of museum culture.

Founder Rashmi Dhanwani tells us that the two-day event features over 10 museums and related entities, including Artflute, Art Walks Mumbai, Bihar Museum, Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum, DAG Museum, Immersive Trails, Indian Music Experience Museum, Maritime Mumbai Museum Society and Piramal Museum of Art. "The idea was initiated in May during International Museum Day. At the time, there were a lot of online events and people would have to go to different pages to attend each museum's event. We were in talks with Insider to smoothen the process" she says, adding that the winter edition went into planning in September. Realising that not every museum had been able to transition digitally, they also reached out to museum professionals, organisations working with museums, consultants and freelancers.
