Polish School of Poster is the name given to the golden age of Polish posters between 1956 and 1965 when a sudden cultural boom was accompanied by a great number of posters that played a leading role in popularizing this trend amongst other media. Posters became an artistic challenge for artists such as Tadeusz Gronowski, Konstanty Maria Sopocko, Eryk Lipinski and their younger colleagues that had debuted between the 40s and the 50s, like Roman Cieslewicz, Wojciech Fangor, Wiktor Gorka, Jan Lenica, etc.

Rare documents, letters, and photographs of the British era are going to be on display at the National Archives from Wednesday till January 31 in an exhibition entitled 'Commemorating 150 Years of Presidency Universities, 1857-2007'.

Amongst the displays is a tabular statement depicting the annual allocation of funds towards education by the East India Company during the period 1813-30.

Aptly titled "Footprints of Time - Qutub Minar to Lal Quila", Pranab Kumar Mukhopadhyay’s exhibition of photographs brings alive the historic buildings of Delhi. Concentrating on the finer elements of these buildings, the exhibition features 30 monuments from the early Sultanate period to the Tughlaq and Lodhi periods and finally to the Mughal dynasty.

During the 12th Century to 18th Century Delhi remained the hub of experiments and assimilation of traditional and Islamic building concepts and conventions. This exhibition takes a look at the fascinating story of the heritage left behind by these dynasties.

Taken over a period of time, these pictures often tell the story of these buildings through the years. The photographs were shot over six years from 1999.
