In the sixth of the series of presentations, Jagath Weerasinghe shared his ideas and thoughts on the well-known Global Art Museum Project with reference to contemporary Sri Lankan visual art and artists.  Much of the information for the presentation was based on the ideas presented at the Global Art Museum Conference held in New Delhi in October.  In this presentation, the speaker specifically dealt with key issues related to the global art market as well as the role of art museums and their collections in a time of globalization.
