At T2’s domestic terminal, passengers can enjoy a suite of immersive digital experiences curated by MAP which include:

Gallery on Demand – Step into a world of artistic exploration with a rich digital library featuring works by renowned artists such as Jamini Roy, Jangarh Singh Shyam, Jyoti Bhatt, Suresh Punjabi, and L.N. Tallur. The platform also brings MAP’s extensive film ephemera collection to life through curated stories built around Bollywood posters, stills, and lobby cards. From tracing the evolution of the tawaif figure to embarking on a journey through Arabian Nights, these narratives captivate and inform. A series of short films further offers intimate insights into the lives and practices of selected artists from the MAP collection.

Interactive Puzzles – Engage with iconic artworks like Universe by S.H. Raza, Last Supper by Jamini Roy, and The Lotus Sellers by N.S. Bendre through touch-based puzzles that make art both playful and thought-provoking.

Digital Lamp Lighting – Rooted in Indian tradition, lighting a lamp marks the beginning of something auspicious. This interactive feature lets travellers digitally light a lamp from MAP’s collection by scanning a QR code and personalising the moment with their name — a small but meaningful pause in the journey.
