कहानियाँ Kahaniyan of South Asia - National Museum of Scotland

The South Asian Stories Trail at the National Museum of Scotland brings to life ten carefully selected objects that illuminate the rich tapestry of South Asian heritage and its connections to Scotland. Working with Networking Key Services, this project transforms museum artifacts into engaging visual narratives through detailed illustrations that make cultural histories more accessible to diverse audiences. The illustrated trail creates new pathways for visitors to connect with South Asian history, moving beyond traditional museum labels to offer deeper, more nuanced interpretations of each object. By combining artistic interpretation with historical context, the trail helps visitors understand these objects not just as museum pieces, but as storytellers of lived experiences, cultural exchange, and shared histories. The project demonstrates how illustration can break down barriers to cultural heritage, making complex historical narratives more approachable and engaging for all museum visitors.
