Sculpting knowledge: BY students delve into ancient art at CSMVS

Sculpting knowledge: BY students delve into ancient art at CSMVS

Last week, students from standards 7th, 8th, and 9th of Bhavishya Yaan Colaba, accompanied by CC Ms. Pushpa and teacher Ms. Sylvia, went on a field trip to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS). The session focussed on “Ancient sculptures,” featuring artwork from India, Egypt, Assyria, Greece, and Rome. Curated by Miss Marina Dutta, this session was part of India’s 75th year of Azadi ka Amrut Mahotsav celebrations.

Guided by Ms. Dutta and museum staff, the students received a detailed tour of the sculptures, learning about various gods and goddesses worshipped in ancient civilisations and their cultural significance. Ms. Marina Dutta also led a hands-on sculpting activity, greatly enjoyed by the students.
After the insightful session, the students were treated to a snack and safely escorted back to school. A big thank you to Ms. Marina Dutta and the Rotarians for organising such an educational experience for both students and teachers.
