Over the years the Jehangir Art Gallery has served as the hub of a significant amenity in the city – a depository of contemporary art. Since it was founded in 1952, the Institution has helped establish a platform and demand for the works of innumerable artists, an identity for their patrons and has brought art free of charge to the common man. The Gallery is now at the geographical centre of the Kala Ghoda Art District and thus has a pivotal role to play in the future.
