Avid collector of art, Kiran Nadar has opened her first private museum exhibiting Modern and Contemporary Art in India. The Kiran Nadar Museum of Art at Delhi is located behind the popular Select Citywalk mall. They highlight a magnificent generation of Indian painters from the early decades of the 20th century.
KNMA in Delhi is a not-for-profit organization that intends to represent the ever-changing and dynamic relationship of culture and art together. It is made possible through the exhibitions, publications, educational and public programs it displays. Kiran’s idea was to share her art collection with the larger public by opening a private art museum. Known for its collaboration with schools, colleges, NGOS and trusts, the museum displays artworks from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Diaspora.
The growing collection in the museum of Kiran Nadar represents a wide variety of media that involves sculptures, paintings, photography, prints, drawings and even the videos sometimes. The art work here exceeds the national boundaries and extends itself into the shared histories of various cultures.

Kiran Nadar Museum of Art at Delhi is sponsored by the Shiv Nadar Foundation where they focus to bridge the gap between art and the society. It was the lack of a museum and art culture in India that prodded her on to open this grand museum which is known by the name of Delhi’s Kiran Nadar Museum of Art. She believes that some efforts by private initiative in building institutions also needs to be done since the government cannot do it alone. The museum is a way to spread the culture of India to the young blood of this country.
