Kolkata Honors Satyajit Ray with Street Art Museum
In Kolkata, a long wall outside Satyajit Ray's old house has been turned into a special art museum.
This museum has pictures and art related to Satyajit Ray, a famous filmmaker, artist, and musician.
The project was a team effort, funded by the public.
The goal is to tell stories about Ray's life and works, and to make the area more beautiful.
The museum is open for everyone to see.
There are plans to show movie clips and open a bookshop with his works soon.
A street art museum dedicated to Satyajit Ray has been created on a 120-foot wall in Kolkata.
The project, located outside Ray's former residence, showcases prints of Ray's work.
The initiative was conceptualized by Mudar Patherya and supported by approximately 27 patrons.
Local councillor Ashim Basu helped facilitate the project as part of a heritage initiative.
Future plans include film clip screenings and a bookshop featuring Ray's works.
