I visited last Sunday to watch out the ongoing art exhibition. It was awesome ofcourse. It was my second visit in last 8 yrs.

Beautiful gallery of art and sculptures from the surrounding area. Taking a guide or reading material is recommended to appreciate the depth of the artifacts. The history of South India, the Mysore kingdom and all the many religions around, can be imagined looking at the excellent local craftsmanship. Some full body sculptures stone work are absolutely amazing!

Entry fees -20Rs. Different ages of antiquities were displayed. But collections were less. Sculptured stones of different time period were displayed. Seperate building they allocated for art gallery. The art which were displayed was good. Time spent here 1hr.

Calm place to bind your emotions. All meaningful arts on the wall are perfect. Go alone if you prefer understanding the paintings. Must visit.

This art gallery always takes my heart away, such a great collection everytime i visit there.

The Gallery fantastic place for artists who ever wants exhibit their works over here

Beautiful gallery.

Not much to see here, but still worth a visit, and have a nice walk around the building.

Some places are worth noteworthy reviews due to what they have been through, history and for the reasons as to what the provide people with. One thing to note is the Red colored building thats shown is not actually the Venkattappa Art Gallery, but its the Museum Building. Both of which lies side by side.The intent of the Art Gallery was probably highlighting the contribution of the Great National Artist and Muscician Mr Venkattapa . To some extend justice has been done. Ground floor is devoted to his works.The first floor houses an empty art gallery which is available for rent individually or collectively for as little as 500 to 750 RS as on date for struggling artists as they like to call it. More information and bookings can be made at the Museum office.Good for Small Art, Craft and Small exhibitions for Artists, perhaps a better space than Rangoli or CKP. Cubbon Park Metro is the nearest, shares the parking space with the Museum. Its in reasonable good shape considering that its a Government maintained building.

It is adjacent to Cubbon Park. Crntre place of Bengaluru. Anybody can visit there. Very good communication. Enjoy the day.

Nice place featuring art pieces. Awesome place for art and related exhibitions

A simple but beautiful art gallery. The entry ticket is ₹20. Displays amazing paintings and also materials used by Venkatappa

Brilliant variety of historical and cultural archives. Important archaeological specimens on display too.

Located on Kasturba road, opposite UB city, Venkatappa Art Gallery is a beautiful ode in memory of the great artist, Shri Venkatappa. Very well connected with buses & other public transport, the nearest Metro Station is at the entrance to Cubbon park, from where its about 500m to 750m walk. Entrance fee is very nominal at INR 20 for adults & INR 10 for kids. The lower portion consists of several antiquities from different parts of India, & includes antiquities from Chitradurga, Coorg, Tamilnadu, & even Mohenjodaro. It also contains the plan of Srirangpatna fort & many records of land donations to individuals & communities, on copper inscriptions. At the entrance is also a beautiful stone of valor, which is popularly known as veeragallu in Kannada. This veeragallu captures the war preparations of the general & his enjoyment of pleasures in the heavens after being killed in a war while fighting the adversary (called veeragati in Kannada). The entrance to the lower portion also has Jaya & Vijaya, the dwaarapaalakas (gatekeepers) of Lord Vishnu. On the 1st floor is the collection of several musical instruments, several forms of traditional paintings, & many sculptures. The other side of the lower portion (called annexe) contains a open hall with many stone sculptures belonging to different periods. There is also a beautiful picture of how the Kannada script has evolved over the ages, while walking through the hallway. On the adjacent side of the main gallery is the Art school. This predominantly houses the works of Shri Venkatappa & the different awards hes been bestowed upon. Being a very fine art gallery, the Venkatappa Art Gallery needs bigger space to showcase the range of art from Karnataka. On the whole, its a beautiful place to visit & appreciate.

The one right place for the people those are not really interested in Malls or crowded parks . Kids who are inclined towards history and art will surely enjoy the place.Art Gallery is big enough to show case artists work.
