Mithila Museum
The Mithila Museum Initiative welcomes volunteers who want to contribute their time, knowledge, and energy to the development of a future museum dedicated to Mithila painting.
More Than Infrastructure
Building a museum initiative requires more than infrastructure. It requires people who care deeply about culture, learning, public engagement, and the long-term work of institution-building.
Volunteers can play a meaningful role in helping shape the initiative as it grows — depending on the phase of development and the areas where support is most needed.

Who We Welcome
We welcome volunteers from a range of backgrounds, all united by a strong interest in Mithila painting, cultural preservation, or Asian and AAPI arts engagement.
Volunteering with the initiative is an opportunity to take part in something formative: the building of a future institution that aims to preserve artistic heritage while creating new cultural possibilities for the next generation.
