Beyond Gallery
Outreach Activities and Public Engagement
Beyond Gallery, an initiative of Planet Patna Foundation, actively works to bring history and heritage closer to the public through exhibitions, lectures, and heritage walks. These outreach activities aim to create awareness, encourage dialogue, and promote the preservation of Patna's rich historical legacy.
Exhibitions that showcase rare archival materials
Planet Patna Foundation has organized several outreach exhibitions to showcase rare archival materials and untold histories.
One such exhibition was organized in Danapur on the occasion of seminar-cum-exhibition titled “The Military Heritage and Culture of Bihar and Chota Nagpur.” This exhibition displayed archived letters, posters, and flyers related to World War I and World War II, highlighting the significant role played by Patna and the region of Bihar during these global conflicts.
Another important exhibition was organized on the eve of the Centenary Celebrations of Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH), featuring rare archival documents and highlighting the contribution of Rai Bahadur Radha Krishna Jalan, who donated penicillin to PMCH.
