Well it is 150 years of Tagore's birth anniversary. One of India's nobel prize winners, at the NGMA they are displaying his works of art, alongwith those of his two brothers. His third brother was India's first Indian civil servant.
I liked the exhibition of Shesh Lekha - which was based on his poems. Massive watercolours, focusing on the sea and boats, made for good viewing. My husband and I managed to catch the exhibition on the last day.
Paresh Maity had done the exhibition. It was good. There were some pieces my husband and I didn't like. I liked his views of nature. It was awesome in its grandeur.
NGMA is a nice place to go to on a Sunday. I highly recommend it. Thankfully we don't have the same rush you see in other galleries, so you can take your time and see. You'll easily get parking and you can take your time. There are huge trees on the premises that one should admire as well. It is well located and a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Delhi's chaotic city life.
I just wished they advertised better. Their website is never updated for the new exhibits. You literally have to dig up things on your own. I know they say you can't expect much from government run things, but surely, how difficult can this be!?
