The task of keeping it interactive and lively fell to artist and researcher, Anirban Majumder, a former student of museology at CSMVS. Using the archival maps and prints of the city, including the first design submission of the museum’s structure, Majumder unified storytelling and history. He says, “I took the elements of these paintings from the archive and used it to tell the story and journey into the past.”
