Today, 18 May, is celebrated as International Museum Day all over the world since 1977. To mark the occasion, I have here a photo of the National Gallery of Modern Art. Over the past few months, the paintings by legends like Raja Ravi Verma, M.F. Husain, Amrita Sher-Gil, Tagore brothers- have been shifted to a new building. The new gallery has been designed keeping in mind the international design sensibilities.I'll admit I liked the old setting in Jaipur House better, since it had a very regal appeal. but as long as the arts are being promoted and showcased I am a happy Delhiite.
