National Gallery of Modern Art - Art gallery in Mumbai - Mumbai, India

I stay opposite side of the road to this gallery and see this building every day. There is a charm in this place, visited quite a number of times being in my proximity (75meters precisely).

Went to see an exhibition organised by Air India. The paintings and work of art displayed were beyond inspiration. Most of them were created four decades ago and they were looking so new. Hats off to all the artists for their brilliant piece of work, especially B Prabh and also the curator, who organised the event.

We visited and were about to pay 500 for entrance when we were told the only gallery open was Textile exhibits. All other galleries closed. Their website (on 'Current Status') does mention that it is closed for floor maintenance until next year (2024) sometime. Don't make a special journey unless you want to see Textiles only and prepared to pay 500 rupees.

This butterfly-shaped gallery with a dome in the centre attracts art lovers from different parts of India. It is the brainchild of Jawahar Lal Nehru, Humayun Kabir and Maulana Azad, and shows you how visual and plastic art forms have evolved over time. Art collections of important civilizations, artists and sculptors have found their rightful place in this contemporary gallery. You can explore the artworks by Pablo Picasso as well as many Egyptian artefacts here which makes it one of the best places in Mumbai for art fanatics.

If you are into paintings and modern art this place is a heaven. The store sells some outstanding prints so I will say it is a must buy. I'm case you wish to learn how to light and display paintings then also this is such a masterclass. The staff is extremely friendly and the shop is worth spending time in. I would recommend it for everyone. You need to maintain silence as the place has options for people to study art as well as view in peace
