Works of renowned Indian artists like Rabindranath
Tagore, Jamini Roy, MF Hussain and Amrita Sher-Gill are housed here. The
gallery throws light on the evolution of modern Indian paintings and sculpture.
The treasures of NGMA span miniature paintings to modernist interventions and au
courant contemporary expressions.
The NGMA had also acquired from various
sources, by way of purchases and gifts, works of various European and Far
Eastern artists. There are also many works by European artists who visited India
in the 18th and 19th centuries. Among them, Tilly Kettle, William Hodges,
Thomas Daniell and Emily Eden deserve special mention.
There is also an Art Reference Library
with a good collection of art books, journals and periodicals as well as a
sculpture garden at the back.
