The David Sassoon Library and Reading Room, one of Mumbai’s oldest and most treasured libraries, stands as a cultural and architectural icon in the city. After an extensive conservation effort supported by the JSW Foundation and ICICI Foundation, the library was beautifully restored and reopened to the public on June 2, 2023.

To celebrate this occasion, Mumbai Light Festival was commissioned to create a projection mapping experience on the iconic facade of the library. Taking inspiration from the design and architecture of the building - including its facade motifs, vintage flooring tiles, glass work and wood work - we created an experience that mesmerized viewers for three evenings and ensured that the iconic institution had a reopening to remember.
