Housed in a grand 1936 Jaipur House, NGMA holds one of South Asia's finest collections of modern Indian art spanning from the 1850s to contemporary works, including masterpieces by Amrita Sher-Gil, Rabindranath Tagore, and Jamini Roy. The permanent galleries are thoughtfully curated and the rotating temporary exhibitions are consistently strong. Photography is restricted in most galleries, and the café is mediocre, so eat before you visit.
