It may cost a bit of your savings, but you get over a thousand artworks for that price and full bragging rights

In our space-starved Mumbai homes, there is only so much that can go up on the walls. You will find yourself often choosing between that childhood picture from Shimla and that trip to Tuscany last year, or that Monet print from the Met and the retro Bollywood poster from Chor Bazaar. Limited wall space and storage facilities, and the sheer humidity of the city make us often rethink heavy investments in framed, wall-mounted works.
So, you think, you'll just opt for a digital frame, and upload an endless stream of pictures. Except — that's just plain tacky, right? A piece of metal, the bright screen, images that might pixelate with poor resolution... However, the reaction we had from the newsroom when we hosted a Meural Canvas for a fortnight was far from this. We had our colleagues walk all the way from across the floor just to have a look at this high-end piece of tech.
