- Abstract
The National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) in New Delhi stores a collection of about 17,000 artworks dating back to 1850. After the establishment of the NGMA in 1954 on the behest of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to adequately store his collection of paintings of the Indian modernist and his friend Amrita Shergil, the collection was built up over 60 years by successive directors and their personal likings and peers.
