Benesse Art Site Naoshima, managed by Benesse Corporation and Naoshima Fukutake Museums Foundation, is a collective term for the art activities that extend throughout the entire Seto Inland area, with Naoshima Island as its centre. Their aim is to become a guidepost to understanding what it means to ‘live well’ (benesse). Currently, Benesse House, Art House Project and Chichu Art Museum are open to the public.

Arna-Jharna: The Desert Museum of Rajasthan is an attempt to re-imagine what a museum could be. Instead of being enclosed in a box, it celebrates the open spaces of the desert, including its flora and fauna, as part of a larger holistic exploration of the museum as a place of learning.

Envisioned by the late Komal Kothari, one of India’s leading folklorists and oral historians, the Arna-Jharna Museum can be described as a process of interactive learning experiences linked to traditional knowledge systems.
