‘There is room for every state in India to have at least a 100 museums,’ says Vinod Daniel, AusHeritage Chairperson in an interview by The Hindu.

The collaboration between AusHeritage and the Department of Archaeology and National Museum of Myanmar has resulted in two workshops on collection conservation and management.

A workshop on collections conservation and management was inaugurated today at the National Museum, Nay Pyi Taw. The three day workshop is being held from January 30, 2017 to February 1, 2017 and is a collaboration between AusHeritage (Australia’s International Cultural Heritage Network) and the Department of Archaeology and National Museum.
