Built in 1886, Max Denso Hall and Library was Karachi's first public library, designed in the Venetian Gothic style using local Gizri sandstone. Funded by Max Denso, the first chair of Karachi's Chamber of Commerce, and designed by James Strachan, the library marked a turning point in public access to knowledge, previously limited to British military circles. Philanthropists and businessmen from the Parsi and Hindu communities,including Morarji, Dinshaw, and Nusserwanjee,contributed to its funding and donated thousands of books. The building stands as a testament to the collective efforts of Karachi's diverse communities in promoting education and cultural growth.
The original artwork was a part of Ozair's solo show at Khalikdina Hall, called Karachi's Lost Communities.
