Art Museum in Delhi Dedicated to Promoting Fine Arts in India There are limited numbers of an art museum in India and Delhi even being the capital is no exception. Located in the heart of the city Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA) is a noteworthy addition to the list of a privateart museum in India that is a part of the shift occurring in the art world across the globe with an increasing number of collectors bringing out their collections to the public. The 34,000 square feet museum space has housed several critically acclaimed exhibitions that have celebrated Modern and contemporary art in the country and abroad. KNMA as an art museum in Delhi upholds the tradition of art patronage and continues to expand that definition through its education initiatives. It also collaborates with schools, colleges, NGOs, trusts for this diffusion of knowledge that is achieved through regular workshops where adults and children alike get to learn about new art forms and techniques as well as benefit from their interactions with the artists who frequently head these programs. Screenings of films, stimulating curatorial programs, and curated walks to promote fine arts in India form an integral part of the museum’s ever-expanding itinerary. Sponsored by the Shiv Nadar Foundation, KNMA is plugging the lack of art promotion in the public sphere and is working towards encouraging art appreciation. KNMA aspires to become a place for confluence, through its curatorial initiative and exhibitions, school and college workshops, art appreciation discourses, symposiums, and public programs. It is focused on bridging the gap between art and the public and fostering a museum-going culture in India. In order to activate the museum as a site for visual and intellectual dialogue, the museum aims to develop innovative programs that seek active collaborations from artists as well as the public.
