    Jehangir Art Gallery was founded in 1952 by Sir Cowasji Jehangir, a prominent businessman and art patron. He envisioned a space dedicated to promoting and showcasing Indian art. The gallery quickly became a hub for artists from all over the country, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas and styles. Over the decades, it has hosted exhibitions by some of India's most celebrated artists, including M.F. Husain, S.H. Raza, and F.N. Souza. The gallery's enduring popularity is a testament to its significant contribution to the Indian art scene.
