Established in January 2010, KNMA was initiated by the avid art collector Kiran Nadar.

The Kiran Nadar Museum of Art became the first private museum of art exhibiting contemporary and modern works from India and the sub-continent.

The ever-growing collection of KNMA is largely fixated on significant trajectories. Its core collection highlights a magnificent generation of Indian painters from the 20th century’s post-independent decades while it equally engages with different art practices of the younger contemporaries.
