Description

Government Museum & Venkatappa Art Gallery The setting is possibly more impressive than the collection at Bengaluru's biggest museum. The handsome brick-red building was constructed in 1877 to house artefacts donated by locals during the colonial period, but the collection has been expanded to include carvings unearthed at Hampi and other archaeological sites in Karnataka. The adjacent art gallery is devoted to Sri K. Venkatappa, the court painter of the Wadiyar sultans,  and provides a democratic space for regional artists to create and display.
