DAG Museums is a non-profit initiative of DAG, one of India’s leading art institutions. The Museum Initiative is a part of DAG’s mission to make its collection more accessible to diverse audiences through arts engagement, education, museum collaborations and, also eventually setting up museum spaces. We have organised museum exhibitions at Drishyakala at Red Fort, Delhi and Ghare Baire at Currency Building, Kolkata, in collaboration with the Archaeological Survey of India and the Ministry of Culture, and March to Freedom at the Indian Museum, on the occasion of the 75th year of independence. Recently, we have acquired Jamini Roy’s house which will soon be turned into a house museum.

Established in 1993, DAG is an art company that spans a gamut of verticals that includes museums, art galleries, exhibitions, publishing, archives as well as programmes for the specially abled and sight-impaired. With one of India’s largest inventories of art and archival material and a brisk acquisitions platform, it offers curators and writers a vast choice for the planning and execution of important, historic retrospectives and expositions. These have taken place at DAG’s galleries in New Delhi, Mumbai and New York, as well as through collaborations with other prestigious institutions.

DAG’s exhibitions and books have helped establish Indian art around the world, its repertoire spanning pre-modern art as well as modern masters. The collection includes works by India’s most celebrated artists, including Raja Ravi Varma, Amrita Sher-Gil, Jamini Roy, Nandalal Bose, Rabindranath Tagore as well as his nephews Abanindranath and Gaganendranath, the Progressives F. N. Souza, S. H. Raza, M. F. Husain, Tyeb Mehta, and modernists Avinash Chandra, Ram Kumar, G. R. Santosh, Bikash Bhattacharjee, Chittaprosad and Altaf.
