Tracing the full trajectory of his career from the late 1960s to his last unpublished projects of the late 1990s, this exhibition showcases the iconic depictions of Indian life and culture in vivid colour. | | The exhibition is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art with the cooperation of Succession Raghubir Singh. | | | | ROM DAYTIME Mounting Modernism: From Development to Display Thursday, September 27; 11:00 am - 1:15 pm Free with Museum admission

Museums today are struggling with what to do when artists represented in their galleries are accused of sexual harassment or when artworks in their collections are viewed as problematic.
Located at the entrance to the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal in the Thorsell Spirit House and free to the public, #MeToo & the Arts examines how museums are engaging with issues raised since October 2017 when the #MeToo movement gained momentum in the wake of allegations made against a number of powerful men in the film industry.
