JEHANGIR ART GALLERY
Significance: Most Prestigious And Modern Venue For Indian Artists
Built In: 1952
Donated By: Cawasji Jehangir
Facing Elphistone College and adjacent to the Prince of
Wales Museum, this gallery situated at Kala Ghoda is the most prestigious
and modern venue for Indian artists. This gallery, with its four
exhibition halls, is one of the city's most highly visible art galleries
and having to exhibit a work of art here is a great treat for artists.
The unending list of applicants to have their work put up on the walls of
this gallery speaks for itself of the great importance and the media
attention one attracts. Some might have to wait a couple of years to have
their work put up here.
The art gallery was built in the year 1952. Managed by the Bombay Art
Society, the entire cost of this beautiful mansion was donated by Cawasji
Jehangir.
