What to expect at the gallery
Jehangir Art Gallery has seven exhibition spaces and presents painting, sculpture, photography and ceramics. Established in 1952, the privately owned gallery has also regularly hosted workshops, discussions and lectures, according to Incredible India.
The Ministry of Culture directory reports a collection of 800 modern and contemporary Indian artworks, collected between 1968 and 2001. That collection is one part of the gallery’s story; the exhibition spaces also provide a setting for changing displays.
If you’re planning a wider museum outing, the National Gallery of Modern Art Mumbai is another South Mumbai art stop.
For a broader mix of collections, the nearby Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya covers the museum next door.
