The work of museum and heritage professionals often draws upon a rich network of shared knowledge, ranging from exhibition toolkits and community engagement frameworks to interpretive strategies and documentation studies. In this section, Museum Mosaic brings together a selection of resources that have informed, supported, or emerged from thoughtful museum practice in recent times. Each offers insights, methodologies, or models that can be reimagined and adapted across institutions and practices. Scan the QR codes accompanying each resource to explore it fully.
India & The World: A History In Nine Stories | Toolkit For Educators
Developed by Flow India in collaboration with the National Museum, Delhi, CMSVS, Mumbai and the British Museum, the educator toolkit is designed to engage Social Studies teachers working with students aged 11–14. It offers four comprehensive lesson plans, worksheets, and pre- and post-visit sessions to deepen student engagement with the landmark exhibition India and the World. The toolkit fosters observation, creativity, and interdisciplinary thinking—encouraging educators to use the museum as an immersive, curriculum-linked classroom.
Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit 2.0
The toolkit offers a self-assessment methodology to evaluate and improve the management effectiveness of World Heritage properties and other heritage places. Comprising 12 adaptable tools with supporting worksheets and questionnaires, it enables heritage managers to identify strengths, diagnose weaknesses, and enhance conservation outcomes. Designed for natural, cultural, or mixed heritage sites, the toolkit supports better planning, resource allocation, and response to threats such as development, tourism, and climate change.
Sustainable Practices: Handbook For Museums In India
In collaboration with Urban Morph, ReReeti has developed India’s first comprehensive guide dedicated to sustainable museum practice. Bridging a critical gap in the sector, the handbook encourages museums to adopt eco-conscious approaches—offering actionable strategies across carbon reduction, energy efficiency, ethical procurement, and waste management.
Inclusion in Museums: Perspectives of People with Disabilities
Commissioned by MAP India and conducted by ReReeti Foundation, this landmark study highlights the lack of inclusivity and accessibility of people with disabilities in the museum and cultural sector in India. Through qualitative interviews across a spectrum of disabilities, it identifies the access barriers and offers recommendations—ranging from tactile replicas and ISL interpretation to multisensory learning and universal design. The findings call for museums to move beyond compliance, embracing inclusion as an ethos.
