Conversations on Curatorial Practice, Exhibitions and Public Relations at The City Palace Museum

On 31st August 2026, Ms. Elizabeth Taylor Perramond visited The City Palace Museum, Udaipur, where she engaged in an insightful dialogue with the museum team on curatorial practices, exhibition planning, public relations, heritage communication and visitor engagement. The discussion provided a valuable opportunity to exchange perspectives on developing meaningful exhibitions, strengthening public outreach and enhancing the overall interpretation and presentation of the museum's collections. Furthermore, the interaction explored exciting potential avenues for future collaboration, joint exhibitions and enduring cultural partnerships.
