Walking Through Soul City - Sudhir PatwardhanThis was an amazing display of art work. Loved the detailing in every painting. Enjoyed each piece of art minutely. A must visit exhibition. Loved the different characters portrayed in each frame. Each one was unique. Each one has an identity. They werent simply human beings. And every painting evoked thoughts in my head and created conversation.

A beautiful gallery just opposite Regal cinema at Colaba. Entrance fee is very reasonable at Rs20 for Indians.They regularly change their display, maybe once a month.They currently have on display, the LIFE OF MAHATMA GANDHI.The displays comprise of paintings, collectables, daily use items, broken negatives on the MAHATMA.Dont miss the display depicting the Dandi March. They have a projector that projects the waves on a wall, and they have made a sea shore with salt. His staff stands straight on the sea shore. And the sound of the waves rises in the background. JUST SPECTACULAR.Another exhibit depicts a loom and threads flowing on the ground and circling alphabets that form a sentence. VERY MOVING AND TOUCHING.You can take photographs, but without a flash and only from a mobile.

This is unarguably the best place to visit in terms of Modern art. The art works exhibited here by famous artists will make you speechless. There is constant change in the arts displayed here. The time I visited this place the an exhibition named Inner Resonance was going on, which showcased the works done by Mr. S.G.Vasudev, which included paintings, drawings, copper etchings and tapestry.The ticket price here is very cheap and you can spend as much time Nas you want and there is also a small souvenir shop selling books related to art, copy of paintings and cups.If you ever go to Mumbai, you should definitely visit this place.

National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai was opened to the public in 1996. It hosts various exhibitions and art collections of famous artists, sculptors and different civilizations. It is situated in the Cowasji Jehangir Hall, near Regal Cinema in Colaba.The idea of a National art gallery was first mooted in 1949,[by whom?] and further developed by Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru and Maulana Azad, bureaucrats such as Humayun Kabir and the local art community. Vice-president Dr. S.Radhakrishnan formally inaugurated the NGMA in the presence of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and artists and art lovers of the city on 29 March 1954. The choice of Jaipur House, one of the premier edifices of Lutyens’ Delhi, signified the envisaged high profile of the institution. Designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield, as a residence for the Maharaja of Jaipur, the butterfly-shaped building with a central dome was built in 1936. It was styled after a concept of the Central Hexagon visualised by Sir Edwin Lutyens. It was Lutyens, along with Herbert Baker, who visualized and gave shape to the new capital in Delhi. Along with buildings designed for other princely potentates like Bikaner and Hyderabad, Jaipur House girded the India Gate circle.

Review №23

Nice and cozy place. Been here in February 2009, one painting I cant still forget. Modern artist, dont remember the name. Some psychedelic picnic or something. View from above. People hanging on the lawn, some sitting some laying on a mat. Some objects also on the mat - dont remember exactly, maybe some food, maybe some other stuff. One of the people smoking a cigarette, a classic transparent plastic lighter (green or yellow?) is laying on the mat near the smoking person. Colors are psychedelic, objects seem glowing like you are tripping on mushrooms or acid. If someone could tell me what is the author or painting or what author it can be look like. I tried to ask writing email directly on the gallery email, but they didnt tell.

The  art collection of the gallery is vast and contemporary. I could click only one pic inside the gallery as there were strict rules for photography. One can experience the process of nature here as they have put projectors to show the artistic videos. Their art is a dynamic combination of materials, concepts, technologies, and subjects that challenge traditional boundaries and defy easy definition.I really liked the ambiance. A very good place for art enthusiasts.

This place is peaceful with great ambiance and the serene soundtrack played in the background. The artwork displayed is well-curated and a good amount of information is provided. This place mainly focuses on the works of Mahatma Gandhi and a strong message is provided along with each artwork. This place has a reasonable entry fee costing 20 rupees.

Beautiful structure in and out. As the name suggests, it is a gallery of modern art. The place is quiet and peaceful. There are huge projectors to display the digital art, as well. The interiors are made beautifully. Tourists can visit this gallery to identify the essence of art and magnificent structures. Its not much crowded and could be difficult to find since the taxi drivers are not aware about it. Spell the alternative name that is used for this gallery to reach faster.

The place has a good vibe. 3/4th of the museum is about Mahatma Gandhi and his entire life. While walking through the stairs of the exhibition, you will find these quotes which are really touching. You should explore more about the works of Gandhi. It is worth it. Photography and smoking in this place is not allowed. The charges are Rs. 20/- for an Indian citizens and Rs. 500/- for a foreigners.

This is possibly the most underrated museum in Bombay. Apart from the beautiful paintings and sculptures, the internal architecture is mind boggling. As you make your way through the exhibits, you climb higher and each level is designed differently. My favourite is the top level, where if there arent any noisy people, you can sit on the bench and meditate in absolute silence. Id recommend going here when it isnt too busy to get the best experience.

Amazing place and very peaceful place to see art...The Night Gallery of Modern Art is a museum of art maintained by government, which has its counterparts in New Delhi and Mumbai. The museum compound is filled with lively plants and water bodies. This place has a peaceful vibe, making one to forget about everything.There are a number of interesting things in gallery which shows contemporary exporters and importers of Indian culture: Indian artists who achieved some international Fame and international artists who have been influenced by Indian culture.

This place is really good if you are an art enthusiast. There are many exhibitions which are held regularly and fees is nominal for Indian tourists ( 20 rupees only) . For overseas and citizens from other countries you will have to pay 500 rupees. Its a three storey structure and exhibits paintings at all three levels. Properly air conditioned and sitting arrangement for looking at paintings. Please make sure if you can click pictures as some exhibits prohibit this. Also please maintain silence. There is cafe in the premises and you can have breakfast depending on the menu and availability. There is no parking arrangement although there are parking lots at kala ghoda.

Review №62

The NGMA will never disappoint you. The finest of Indian art with the best of storytelling is always delivered. They typically have one exhibition a month where they feature a prominent artist from India (or with significant Indian roots). The entry fee is really small for Indians and not too bad for foreigners either (Rs. 20 for an Indian visitor and Rs.500 for a foreigner). You cant take pictures of exhibits unless you buy a separate photography pass, which is expensive. Enjoy the art and also the architecture of the building itself.

Its a good place to spice up your art enthusiasm. They have restrictions towards photography. Ambience is good and well lighted. We can spend peaceful time and love to observe the art.

A relatively smaller gallery than NGMA Delhi. A staircase take you up 4 floors to see magnificent works of art displayed. Will not take you more than 2-3 hours to browse through the gallery.

As you enter the main gate and put your purse thru the xray machine, there is some confusion. You are asked to return to the yard to the lockers to safekeep the purse and then purchase the tickets which is a steal at Rs.20 ( 500 for non Indians).But once you enter the gallery, you are in a different world. The gallery is impeccably designed with several open circular levels. Not sure if the gallery is wheel chair friendlyThe lighting and the temperature are controlled perfectly. There are ample benches to sit and gaze at the displayed artwork. The display is amazingly designed.One can look forward to an enriching experience.
