Sarmaya Arts Foundation

Sarmaya Arts Foundation is a not-for-profit curated repository of art, artefacts and living traditions from the Indian subcontinent. This diverse collection falls into the categories of numismatics, cartography, photography, engravings, rare books, indigenous art and modern and contemporary art. Founded in 2015 by Mumbai based banker, history enthusiast and patron, Paul Abraham, Sarmaya aims to make India’s art, heritage and culture more accessible, engaging and educational. We have a physical archive in Mumbai, India, and work on a hybrid model of programming, online and on ground. Through a combination of immersive engagement such as exhibitions, educational outreach programs, talks, films and curated workshops, Sarmaya has been transcending the conventional boundaries of a ‘museum’ and making art and history accessible to all.
