It has a vast collection of paintings, sculpture and textiles. The museum hosts an exquisite specimen of Nepalese and Tibetan “thankas” and paintings of contemporary artists. Ancient terracotta objects on display date back to the Harappan civilization, Mauryan, Sunga and Gupta periods. Red sandstone reliefs from the 2nd century B.C. and the Buddhist stupa from Bharhut are among the prominent attractions of the museum.The anatomical structure of Bharat Kala Bhavan developed in January 1920. Its first Honorable Chairman (for life) was poet Rabindranath Tagore and its Honorable Vice-Chairman was poet’s nephew Silpacharya Abanindranth Tagore. But in fact the credit for the ancestry and accompanying growth of this internationally big-name museum goes to Padmavibhushan Late Rai Krishnadasa – a widely known and esteemed writer in Hindi and a innovator among the Indian art historians.
