The discussion at the Bihar Museum Biennale in Bangalore centres around the role of museums in a digital world and how a museum can become a site for community engagement and negotiate better with changes that include shifting demographics and ever-escalating technologies.
At the first panel discussion at the Bihar Museum Biennale in Bangalore, Anjani Kumar Singh, Director General of Bihar Museum says, "Bihar Museum’s great focus is on children. We are encouraging the ‘feel and touch’ experience. Children are usually told not to touch anything but we changed this. Children can tell you a lot, but the hierarchies need to be changed."
