As an architect, the whole experience was good. It's a must visit place for art fanatics. You are treated every affably and can get a mindful insight of the whole building. No art show or play is fixed around the year, it changes from month to month. The building and it's surrounding is maintained very neat and clean. It's a architectural marvel. The interiors are Human centric and the whole building is aur conditioned. You need to buy tickets for particular events, sometimes there are free. Overall, the overall ambience is really good and soothing.

Kids had a nice time , really good displays. ticket ranging from 50 to 150 for various displays. Has a non ac restaurant at terrace, and a Cafe in basement. food was over priced. the terrace restaurant gives a great view of ub city. the staircase between floors was the most flocked space for pics, because of the beautiful shades of colors. Has clean washrooms. Has a single large lift. Has no parking, so you need to park in the lane next to it, near the kingfisher tower, very limited spots. Tuesdays are free. We spent close to 3 hours there. Kaleidoscope display and digital display were great.

MAP (Museum of Art & Photography) is an absolute gem in the heart of Bengaluru! The sheer variety of art on display, from ancient artifacts to contemporary masterpieces. The museum offers a beautifully curated collection of contemporary art, photography, and historical pieces that really highlight the rich culture and creativity of India.There are 4 floors in the building and basement floor where locker for bags (its free) you can carry cameras with you.I enjoyed the interactive digital archive the most tho! It’s trippy! you can pick which exhibit you want to see. it has free entry on tuesdays and only after 2 PM..do carry your water bottle you can refill the same inside. It will take you 2-3 hrs to complete all the floors..They have washrooms + all the signage everywhere (from the lifts to the exhibits) had braille!..If you're an art enthusiast or just looking for a cultural outing, MAP is definitely worth a visit.

One of the best museums I’ve visited in India. Weirdly I had to pay for all the floors separately and I was recommended 2 hours for the entire place. But with my pace where I wanted to read everything, it took about 3-4 hours and I didn’t even have the capacity for one of the floors. But I loved what I saw and read and experienced.

The museum offers a beautifully curated collection of contemporary art, photography, and historical pieces that really highlight the rich culture and creativity of India. The exhibits are thoughtfully arranged, with clear and informative descriptions that make the experience both educational and engaging. The space is modern, open, and welcoming, with great lighting that enhances the artworks. I particularly enjoyed the interactive installations and the diversity in the exhibits, from traditional Indian art to global contemporary pieces. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the museum had a peaceful, reflective atmosphere. If you're an art enthusiast or just looking for a cultural outing, MAP is definitely worth a visit. I look forward to returning to see new exhibitions!

The best museum visited recently. Being an art enthusiast, I just loved everything here. The ambience, quality of service, display, the shop, all! Each floor and exhibit had its unique artwork, styles of art, themes, for display and was luckily sponsored as well. They also have some special events of the artists, which I think are ostly paid ones. The entry to the museum is free for all unless the event. They have a mini auditorium as well for the same. The entire premises has wheelchair accessibility. Overall, a great experience, and I suggest all the art lovers visit once.

One of the most beautifully curated museums I have ever visited, offering a perfect balance between depth and accessibility. The layout is thoughtfully designed, making it easy to explore without feeling overwhelmed. Each floor showcases an exceptional collection with well-crafted descriptions that provide fascinating insights into the exhibits. Every piece feels carefully selected, truly representing the best of the best in its category. The museum's gift shop is equally impressive, featuring a unique selection of high quality items that go far beyond typical souvenirs. From handcrafted pieces to exclusive memorabilia, it is the perfect place to find something special, far superior to the usual tourist trinkets found in Bangalore.
