The South Asia Gallery is a FuturePlan project and is part the realisation of our broader vision for the South Kensington site. As part of the project, the Kochi Ceiling will be conserved and installed in the new South Asia Gallery. The Ceiling was installed in the Indian Section of the South Kensington Museum sometime between 1883 and 1955. At the time, the Indian Section was located in the Eastern Galleries, on Exhibition Road. These galleries were demolished in 1955/6 which is when the Ceiling was deinstalled. The Ceiling has been in storage for over 60 years. The Kochi Ceiling originally had 45 panels, of which only 12 still exist. This tender is for the conservation of the Ceiling in order for it to be reinstalled at V&A South Kensington.
