Exhibition: Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation: Moments and Memoirs

To commemorate its 50th anniversary, an exhibition titled 'Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation: Moments and Memoirs' was opened to the Museum visitors on 20th October 2019, at the south-side of Osara, Zenana Mahal. Since its inception in 1969, on 20th October, the two institutions, Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation and The City Palace Museum, Udaipur, have been interlinked and inter-dependent on each other in many ways.

The exhibition brought to light the many challenges and emotions behind the creation of these two institutions; with an attempt to trace their history, outline their efforts progress and future goals. From

archival photographs of events in the early days to the speech read out by Maharana Bhagwat Singh Mewar of Udaipur (r. 1955-1984 CE), at the foundation ceremony of Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation, The City Palace Museum, Udaipur, the exhibition hopes to captivate the visitors as they journey through the 50 years of these two institutions with contexts of not just Udaipur but also India and the world as a whole.
