National Gallery of Modern Art

What people say, in short
The National Gallery of Modern Art in the Kala Ghoda/Fort area is frequently recommended, with one local calling it a must-visit for its year-round exhibitions. It sits opposite the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, so visitors often pair the two. One commenter suggests it for someone who loves old Bollywood, mentioning a film-themed exhibition. The main caveat comes from a foreign visitor who was disappointed by the lack of context explaining the artists and their work.
