Best Fine Art in New Delhi

, 4 Options Found

Dhoomimal is a commercial gallery that holds exhibitions throughout the year. It is one of the oldest galleries in the city—almost all big names in the Indian art fraternity have had some kind of association with this place. Its secret lies in a supportive royal clientèle, and an impressive and priceless collection of artwork. If you are an aficionado of fine art then your visit to New Delhi is not complete without a tour of the Dhoomimal Art Gallery.

Spread across three floors, Lalit Kala Academy is a spacious art gallery that has been operating since 1954. This venue has been a platform for amateur and well-known artists alike. Being an art hub, this gallery has been the venue for the Triennale India exhibition which sees around 40 countries participating. Besides this, the art gallery also holds the National Exhibition of Photography and Arts and is a host to several film shows and other events regularly. All in all, Lalit Kala Academy is surely a must visit for all the art aficionados in town.

A trip to Delhi would amount to much less if The National Museum were not on your itinerary. Built in 1960, this repository stores an endless and spectacular collection of Indian antiquities. The collection is truly fantastic and extraordinary; there are treasures from pre-historic times and from the time of the birth of Indian civilization. Priceless pieces of art and sculptures from the Indus Valley civilization, can also be found here. That's not all, the museum houses rare miniatures, Buddhist and Jain relics and an extensive collection of artifacts from the Chola Era. If you are interested in decorative arts; this museum exhibits those too.

Managed by the Lalit Kala Academy, Garhi Artists Studio is an institution, relatively less known in the world. Various artists are given scholarships and studios here; so that they can create their art without the commercial pressures. It is a great place to visit, if you are interested in the live processes of art. Extraordinary shows and exhibitions are organized frequently, and there is always a chance of buying some really good art at highly discounted prices. The graphic studio has an old etching press which is worth seeing as well. Many workshops and lectures by artists are organized here.
