The interior of the airport continues to celebrate India's cultural

abundance. The Jaye He Museum, located within the Indian airport,
aspires to become the world's most frequented museum, surpassing even

the renowned Louvre in Paris. With an anticipated audience of 40 million

passengers annually, the museum plans to showcase approximately 7000

artworks and artifacts, depicting India's diverse heritage through
collaborative efforts of around 100 artists. The collections are organized

into six thematic compositions, employing a wide range of mediums

including wood, glass, canvas, fiberglass, ceramics, papier-mâché,
terracotta, metal, stone, and cloth. Restoration initiatives have been

undertaken for objects such as nineteenth-century artifacts and totems,

with cataloging and provenance establishment conducted in collaboration
with the Archaeological Survey of India. This ambitious endeavor positions

the airport as a cultural hub, offering travelers a distinctive and extensive

art encounter.
