The historical Manikyavelu Mansion itself has been beautifully transformed to retain its classic charm while providing a contemporary space for art exhibitions. The gallery's serene environment is punctuated by a lush garden and fountain, which complement the aesthetic allure of the displayed artworks. Sprawling over an area of 3.5 acres, NGMA Bangalore is the third of its kind in India, after Delhi and Mumbai. It has a rich repository of art, including paintings, sculptures, and prints.

Fabulous gallery
Really enjoyed my visit to both the temporary exhibition Roots and Routes in Jaipur House, and the permanent exhibition in the New Wing. There's also a great cafe on site.
