from a Thought to a Movement.
When we first opened the doors of Musée Art Café in 2019, nestled in the quiet charm of Dehradun, we didn’t just serve coffee—we brewed a vision.
from this :
to this :
a simple thought guided us:
“Let’s build a home for artists.”
Not a business.
Not a gallery.
But a community—where stories, sketches, and souls could gather and grow.
❤️ What We’ve Built Together
Six years later, that seed of an idea has blossomed into something we never imagined. Together, we’ve:
- Supported 600+ artists
- Displayed over 60,000 pieces of artwork
- Hosted hundreds of workshops, residencies, and exhibitions
And we’re still just getting started.
When exhibitions paused during the 2020–21 pandemic, our love for artists didn’t pause. That’s when we created KalaCUBE—a digital home for creators to build their portfolios, share their voice, and connect with the world. More than a marketplace, it’s a movement. A platform that breathes life into talent, found at http://www.kalacube.com.
🏞️ A Riverbed Full of Colour – The 2025 Calendar
This year, we’re proud to present something very close to our hearts:
The 2025 Artist Calendar.
Each page holds the heartbeats of creators who stayed, painted, and found inspiration at Kaksh Villa, our cozy artist retreat near Sahastradhara—the mystical riverbed of Dehradun.
This calendar is a testament to creativity born in the lap of nature, guided by shared dreams and warm chai, and brought to life at Museé Art Café, where we hosted a spectacular exhibition for these artworks.
We were humbled and honoured to have Dehradun’s Mayor, MLAs, ministers, and respected dignitaries join us to celebrate these masterpieces. But more than the titles—it was the glow in their eyes that made the event unforgettable.
🌱 A Ripple Becomes a Wave
Over the years, many new art cafés have opened in Dehradun, inspired by this idea. We welcome them—not as competition, but as companions in this journey. The more walls that display local art, the stronger the voice of our creative community becomes.
Musée remains the city’s oldest and most loved gathering space for creators, curators, and art lovers. We hold this position with humility and gratitude, knowing we’re all part of something bigger.
🏛️ What Lies Ahead – 2025 and Beyond
With hearts full and walls never empty, we are stepping into a new chapter.
In 2025, we will be launching the Royale Celebration Lounge by Musée—an elegant banquet and bar venue designed for artful events and soulful celebrations. It’s more than a space—it’s an experience, ready to welcome moments of joy, creativity, and community.
