At a panel discussion on the future of museums at a recently concluded literature festival in the city, one of the concerns raised was the absence of a museum-going culture in India. To this, Tristram Hunt, director of London's Victoria and Albert Museum, responded saying things may be changing gradually, and cited the long queues of school children he had spotted at the ongoing India and the World: A History in Nine Stories exhibition at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS).
