Jehangir Art Gallery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jehangir Art Gallery is Mumbai (India)’s most famous art gallery and a tourist attraction. It was founded by Sir Cowasji Jehangir at the urging of K. K. Hebbar and Homi Bhabha. It was built in the year 1952. Managed by the Bombay Art Society, the entire cost of this beautiful mansion was donated by Cowasji Jehangir. This gallery is situated at Kala Ghoda and is one of the most sought-after venues for artists to showcase their work. It is behind the Prince of Wales Museum and has four exhibition halls. A mammoth institution in itself, its history is directly linked with the renaissance of Indian art. The complex also has the popular cafe of Samovar, which is reminiscent of the 70's socialist culture. Don't be surprised if a world-famous painter is sitting next to you, sipping tea. Entry is free.
