NCPA, Mumbai
The
National Center of Performing Arts
About
The National Center of Performing Arts was established
in 1966 to preserve and promote India's rich
cultural heritage in classical and folk music,
dance and drama. Apart from its traditional
art schools, India also has a contemporary art
lineage that began in the early fifties. While
pioneers like MF Hussain and FN Souza spearheaded
this modern art movement, Mumbai was the cradle
of these brave new aesthetes. Today, contemporary
Indian art is known to the world over, which
can be viewed at the National Gallery of Modern
Art bang opposite the Prince of Wales Museum.
Converted from an old public hall, this dynamic,
three tiered structure houses collections from
India's best known living artists providing
a convenient overview of the country's contemporary
art scenario.
Location
Opposite the Prince of Wales Museum.
