National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA)

Formerly known as Sir Cowasji Jehangir Public Hall, the NGMA is Mumbai’s window into the world of contemporary art. It consistently reinvents itself in response to the need of the day. In the 1950s, this hall was the city’s prime venue for concerts, political meetings and the occasional art event. Just across the road from the later landmark for Indian art, the Jehangir Art Gallery, it reopened in 1996 as a venue for exhibitions by modern artists and sculptors from Tagore to Hussain and even includes avant garde performance art in its repertoire.
