Dayanita Singh's poetic mini-museum

Four-poster beds, swivel chairs and this unusual credenza are among the starring players in the “Museum of Furniture” volume of Dayanita Singh’s magnificent 10-volume Museum Bhavan. Housed in a clothbound clamshell case, this miniature museum contains an enigmatic mix, by category, of Singh’s gorgeous, insistently modest black-and-white photographs. Why is the volume “Little Ladies Museum” also titled “Museum of Time,” and the “Museum of Men” also titled “Museum of Curiosities”? You have to hold this book in your hands and pull each accordion-folded “exhibition” out to truly get the poetry.
