Art galleries in Mumbai

Looking for art in Mumbai, Maharashtra? There are 13 galleries mapped here. That's 13 galleries mapped around Mumbai. The exhibition schedule matters more than the count: a small gallery with a great current show beats a big one between exhibitions. Ask the gallerist what's on — they're usually delighted someone asked.

This guide covers every art gallery we could verify in and around Mumbai (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include art gallery and Artisans' Center for Art, Craft & Design, plus Delhi Art Gallery. If a gallery's missing from Mumbai's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Gallery tips for Mumbai

How the regulars do Mumbai's galleries:

• Don't rush the video work at art gallery. Video installations need their full runtime. Sit down, give it the minutes it asks for.
• Visit twice if it moves you at Artisans' Center for Art, Craft & Design. A second visit to a strong show is never wasted. You see completely different work the second time.
• Small galleries take risks. Artist-run spaces show the work the big institutions won't. Some of it's baffling; some of it's the future.
• Check accessibility. Older gallery buildings can be tricky. The website usually notes step-free access — check before you go.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Mumbai — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Mumbai can take a while to appear. The 13 above are only as current as the community map. A art gallery that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 13 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
