Bangalore, September 28, 2025:

A Landmark Moment in Global Art History

A defining cultural moment was marked with the grand inauguration of the world’s first Museum of Anamorphic Art – the Miller Museum of Anamorphic Art. This pioneering institution, founded on the vision of Shereen Miller, was designed to become a global landmark where art, architecture, and nature converge to create an immersive realm of beauty, illusion, and imagination.

Symbolism and Vision Behind the Inauguration

The museum was symbolically inaugurated at 4:40 PM — a moment described as “touched by the grace of eight,” representing balance, strength, and endless love — at the museum’s location in Cooke Town, Bengaluru. The museum reflected an extraordinary vision that celebrated creativity through anamorphic art, a unique blend of mathematics, science, and artistry.

A Space Where Perception Meets Imagination

The museum showcased anamorphic paintings, surreal sculptures, charcoal works, and digital installations, each designed to challenge perspectives, spark curiosity, and inspire imagination. More than an exhibition space, it invited visitors to explore how perception could be shifted and expanded through art.

Distinguished Guests and Cultural Icons

The inauguration was graced by eminent dignitaries and cultural icons, including:

  • Chiranjiv Singh, IAS (Retd.), Former Ambassador of India to UNESCO, Paris; Additional Chief Secretary, Karnataka; ex-Development Commissioner
  • Darshan Kumar YU, Deputy Curator, National Gallery of Modern Art
  • Prof. R. H. Kulkarni, Eminent Art Historian, Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath

Voices of Appreciation from the Art Community

Mr. Chiranjiv Singh remarked,

“The Miller Museum is a significant addition to Bengaluru’s cultural landscape. Shereen Miller’s legacy, carried forward so beautifully by her daughter Cheryl, has brought a rare and fascinating form of art to the city. It is a moment of pride that Bengaluru now hosts the world’s first Museum of Anamorphic Art.”

Prof. R. H. Kulkarni added,

“This museum is a wonderful addition to Bengaluru’s cultural and artistic landscape. Shereen Miller was a multi-dimensional artist, and her anamorphic works deserve to be studied and celebrated. I hope this space remains open to students and artists so her legacy continues to inspire.”

Mr. Darshan Kumar YU shared,

“Walking through Shereen Miller’s works is truly moving. Her sculptures and drawings carry a bold, distinctive presence, and this museum gives Bengaluru’s vibrant art scene a unique treasure to cherish.”

A Daughter’s Tribute and Vision

Sharing her vision, Ms. Cheryl Anita Miller, Founder & Director of the Miller Museum of Anamorphic Art, said:

“Anamorphic art is about shifting perspectives — what seems distorted from one angle transforms into beauty when seen from the right view. My mother reintroduced this form with her own language of illusion and imagination, making it her life’s pursuit. For me, this museum is not just about art; it is a love letter to the city my mother cherished and returned to.”

A Milestone for India’s Cultural Landscape

The inauguration of the Miller Museum of Anamorphic Art marked a significant milestone in India’s cultural landscape, placing it firmly on the global map of artistic innovation and imagination. It promises to be an unmissable destination for artists, students, and art enthusiasts from around the world.

About the Miller Museum of Anamorphic Art

Shereen Miller (1941–2023), born in Benson Town, spent over five decades abroad, showcasing her works in cities such as New York, London, Paris, and Dallas. In 2021, she returned to her hometown to fulfil her long-cherished dream of creating the world’s first Museum of Anamorphic Art.

Unfortunately, she passed away in 2023, just a month before its completion. Her daughter, Ms. Cheryl Anita Miller, Founder & Director, took up the responsibility of carrying forward her vision, ensuring that the museum stands as a lasting tribute to her mother’s legacy.
