At the request of Princess Diya Kumari, the Studio designed the cultural program and scenographic prefiguration for Jaipur's City Palace Museum.

 

The itinerary, designed by Studio Adrien Gardère, can be visited in two directions : from the power (Durbar Hall) to the architecture (Mubarak Mahal) and vice versa, always going through the daily life of maharaja. This allows to keep the two existing entrances in order to welcome a larger public.

 

The new exhibition across the City Palace takes the visitors into a full immersion of the maharaja’s life displayed in a veritable royal palace. Each building has recovered the original function they were designed for : like the Anand Mandir « Temple of Pleasure », as a music salon, or the Durbar Hall, in its ancient disposition which exhibits the military, political and legal duties of maharaja.

 

 
The new museography project makes the spaces talk and telle with new words ancient stories.
