Has any space in Mumbai ever made you feel like you were in another country? It's a question we ponder on while we linger by the Special Project Space at the Dr Bhau Daji Lad (BDL) Museum on a Sunday afternoon. The exhibition is called Italian Palimpsest — the name depicting the layers of art movements and styles that are reflected in a single space.

“This fascinating selection of 12 artworks from the Farnesina Collection in Rome, is on display for the first time in Mumbai. It showcases a spectrum of art practices in Italy including paintings, photography, collage, lenticular print, tempera painting and mixed media,” says Tasneem Zakaria Mehta, managing director and honorary trustee at BDL.
