Our role
Engaged with both the Trusts since 2011, Eka was initially consulted for documentation at the City Palace. We have subsequently completed auditing and reviewing the Museum’s collections, and curated an exhibition of photographs and garments at Jaigarh, in the Royal Guards’ Gallery. We also completed a strategic review for the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum that included disaster management, and planning a major exhibition and publication on Painting and Photography at the Jaipur Court. We were also museum consultants to the Jaigarh Public Charitable Trust.
