Inspired by Bombay Africans – an exhibition produced in 2007 by the Royal Geographical Society, BOMBAY MIX will explore hidden cross-cultural stories embedded in our collective cultural + scientific heritage. It will also look at the history of a selected number of Natural History museums established throughout the British Empire with a special emphasis on Manchester and Bombay (Mumbai).
