EXHIBITION BROCHURES

Our Brochures are a record of each exhibition-season. Each one brings together the exhibits, contributors, partners, and programmes that shaped an exhibition, from the objects on display to the lectures, workshops, masterclasses, walks, and screenings around them.

Brochures are currently available for Sci560: Science in the City and CARBON, with more to follow as new exhibition-seasons open. Alongside the Exhibition Reader, they carry the ideas, stories, and conversations of each season beyond the Gallery, for those who visited and for those yet to.

Sci560 Brochure

What makes Bengaluru a city of science?

The Sci560 brochure takes you through our exhibition-season on the stories of science in Bengaluru, which ran from 24 August 2024 to 13 July 2025. Read about the city through three themes, military, industrial, and academic, and explore 41 exhibits, from the Bangalore Torpedo and India’s first home-built aircraft, the HAL Hindustan Trainer-2, to the Simputer and a portrait of JN Tata engraved at the nanoscale. Along the way, discover the lectures, workshops, quizzes, walks, and festivals that grew around the exhibition, and the young writers, photographers, and filmmakers who gave it new ways of seeing the city.

CARBON Brochure

We are all made of carbon, and so is almost everything around us.

The CARBON brochure invites you into our inaugural exhibition-season, which opened on 19 January 2024 with the Gallery’s new building. Explore nine themes, from carbon as a material and the creatures of carbon to contamination, conflict, consumption, and futures, and 37 exhibits, including silk spun with carbon nanotubes and Raman’s work on the diamond. Read on to find the lectures, workshops, film festival, food festival, and summer school that brought the exhibition to life, along with the travelling exhibitions that carried it further.
