It is a center of art and culture. Good location and nice ambiance. There is a small auditorium for exhibition. Very peaceful place.

It is a very good place to hold a small 200 people gathering. The sound quality and friendliness of the staff are amazing.

I was a student of this institute.This is a very good institution for art and culture. every teachers are very helpful, but the behaviour of head of the department is very very very bad, specialy principal ,who had no idea about art, his behaviour is very bad.all the staffs behaviour of this institute is very very very bad. After end my course, one day I went to meet my respected teacher in this institute, after I entered this institute, the staff are insulted me a lot. After this incident I hate this institute a lot .

There is a small auditorium, it is a peaceful place. Workshops on different crafts are conducted from time to time.

Its a great place for holding exhibitions on art, photography, textiles etc. One can also do a courses in arts, sculpture and such subjects. Good location makes it accessible from any point and it has nice ambiance. There is a small auditorium for exhibition. Very peaceful place.

I didnt come inside in the Institute, I didnt have any knowledge about the institute but in my mind birla group is one of the respected groups

Its a good cultural academy with a pleasant hall for exhibition! The atmosphere is too good and pleasant. Liked it...

A small auditorium in a peaceful atmosphere in Southern Avenue. Nothing great about the auditorium. But the kind of cultural programs usually hosted here and the quality of audience it gets makes it so special. And there is a charm in sitting in its small lawn in the evening and when gentle breeze from the lake makes its way upto this place. This is what Kolkata is all about.

Very good and large exhibition halls but the auditorium is not that good.

It is lovable & awesome place for artist .many exhibition take place here..

Extremely bad behavior of the head of security personnel. No parking facility makes it more difficult to drop and pickup children.

Its a wonderful experience to be here. Such is the environment here. Truly one of the best art galleries in West Bengal. Each floor has one exhibition. Many of Indias guineas have stepped down. One who is associated with the industry but has not come here will probably not be found in West Bengal.
