India is full of people who love art, and the National Gallery of Modern Arts (NGMA) is like heaven for those people. The National Gallery of Modern Art in Delhi keeps paintings and other works of the 1850s because it wants to give its guests a great world of art. The National Gallery is one of the best places to visit in Delhi.

The main museum in the Jaipur House is the NGMA in Delhi. The Indian Government set it up on March 29, 1954. It is the biggest of the three branches, with an area of 12000 square meters. The other two are in Mumbai and Bangalore. The gallery helps people make connections between modern art and something important to them as people.

What is the architecture of the National Gallery of Modern Art Delhi?

The building is at the end of Rajpath, in the Central Hexagon, around the India Gate. It used to be the Maharaja of Jaipur's home, which is why it is called Jaipur House.

It was planned by Sir Arthur Blomfield and built in 1936 after Lutyens' Delhi was finished. Sir Edwin Lutyens created the Central Hexagon, which was the area around the India Gate. This was where the buildings of the most important princely states were located.

Who was the founder of the National Gallery of Modern Art?

It was Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Maulana Azad, bureaucrats like Humayun Kabir, and a busy art community who came up with the idea for a national art gallery in 1949. Finally, on March 29, 1954, Vice President Dr. Radhakrishnan opened the National Gallery of Modern Art with Pandit Nehru in attendance.
