The red tiled roof the Gallery Time and Space at Lavelle Road speaks of an indelible mark of the old world, in this modern city. The gallery, located next to an old English Bungalow complete with an aesthetic garden, is a pleasant sight to see. The theme, that is evident in its very name, comes out even more strongly by the juxtaposition of the art it displays and space it stands on. What started out as an ode to Contemporary Indian art now stands as one of the richest culture hubs in Bengaluru. The gallery not only holds art exhibitions but it also functions as a venue for many book readings, film screenings, discussions on art sessions etc. Artists featured here include names such as Amitabh Sengupta, Aparna Caur, F.N Souza, Ravindra Salve etc. The gallery includes works of paintings, sculptures, and photography, a window into the world of experimental art. A visit here is indeed a cultural enrichment.

One of the foremost contributions made in India by the British Council, an educational and cultural organization operating worldwide, is establishing libraries in a number of cities. The one in Bengaluru which stands right opposite the Visvesvaraya Industrial & Technological Museum has an excellent collection of books on virtually every topic. The library, which represents the British Council is a delight for avid readers with a number of regular literary events and book launches happening here. While it is well-known that book-reading as taken a backseat with the advent of new technology, it is heartening to see organizations such as the British Council using books as a major medium to promote culture.
