Admission time. One was silently thrilled to learn that an exhibition showcasing prints of vintage Mumbai was being thrown open to the general public in (surprise! surprise) a luxury mall.
Such displays of city-centric art in public spaces is a familiar sight in the West; initiatives like these have played a huge role in familiarising and educating the common man about their city’s rich, historic past.

Starting this Independence Day, Palladium and World Luxury Council will be hosting Bombay: 100 Years Ago, a vintage art exhibition to showcase the first-of-its-kind collector’s edition of 100-year-old unpublished archival prints of the city. The canvas prints that have been sourced from a private collector, make for a fantastic rewind yatra into a time that was tinted with a sepia lens.
The aura and drama of the Raj come alive from Mumbai’s gullies, corners and contours, in its people and charming, yet suitably buzzing streetscapes. Don’t miss this one!
From: August 15 to 19
Where: Palladium Mall, Lower Parel.
At: 11 am to 9 pmu00a0
