TRYST WITH THE PAST


TRYST WITH THE PAST

Visitors to the painstakingly restored Bhau Daji Lad Museum on Independence Day,were curious about a certain statuesque gentleman who was there with his family.Kabir Bedi with his companion Parveen,and grandchildren Alia,13 and Omar,12 was taken on a grand guided tour of the museum by Honorary Director Tasneem Mehta.The Bedis spent over two hours exploring the museums treasures and the section which will soon be open to the public with restored storage cottages and workshops spaces.We hear there are plans to make the museum more attractive by introducing a caf,a space for special art projects and public sculpture,as well as an audio visual centre.We cant wait.
