About IME
The IME’s work spans across Exhibition, Conservation, Audience Development, Education and Community Outreach. Besides museum visits, the IME hosts a wide variety of public programs, both in-person and online. In 2020, the IME presented an important exhibition “Ravi Shankar@100: India’s Global Musician” to commemorate the centennial of the sitar maestro. The IME’s online activities include regular events, online exhibits on the Google Arts and Culture platform, regular online classes in various genres of music, and the curation of www.chowdiah.com, a digital archive on violin maestro Mysore T. Chowdiah. The IME is an institutional affiliate of the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles. The IME’s community outreach projects include its flagship Project Svaritha, which engages children from socially disadvantaged and neurodivergent backgrounds, as well as #YuvaInCulture that engages the youth in leadership, creative work, and internships at the museum
