An alternative art and craft gallery, Management of Art Treasures of India (MATI), has been collecting, preserving and documenting two- and three-dimensional artefacts in South Delhi's Hauz Khas Village. Drawing from their collection of over 20,000 lobby cards — unique to the United States, lobby cards began to be produced in the early 20th century and were essentially photographs of the movie stars printed on heavy paper — and film posters, they've now put together a virtual exhibition titled Excitement, where viewers get to see the film art around Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock's iconic works. And if interested, all works are priced at Rs10,000 and available for sale.
