The Indian Fragments in Berlin: The Museum fur Indische Kunst
The Museum fur Indische Kunst (The Museum for Indian Art) falls under the West Berlin public museums- and is one of the few museums for Indian art outside India, if not the only. Housing artefacts from much of Asia, the complete collection in Berlin consists of statues from as long back as the 2nd and 3rd centuries, to paintings and artefacts from the 17th century. The collection of artefacts from India, Central and East Asia began as far back as in the 18th century, with several Indologists, ethnographers and travelers having contributed significantly to its accumulation from the 19th century onwards. Amassing to over 20,000 pieces today, the artefacts now stand amidst a debate- does collection really mean ownership? And who owns the artefacts lifted from native soil- even if there was no direct colonialism involved?

Life imitates art far more than art imitates life. The Decay of Lying ~Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) is widely regarded as believing the exact opposite of Mr. Wilde, that art imitates life. Aristotle, a born thinker, son of Nichomachus, the personal physician of King Amyntas of Macedon.
