The Kala Bhavana Nandan Museum is an academic museum that primarily serves art students by supporting their academic programs and providing valuable resources to art historians and scholars. The museum's history dates back to 1919, when Kala Bhavana (the Faculty of Fine Arts) was founded by Rabindranath Tagore. The 'Nava-Nandan,' the new building of the Kala Bhavana Museum, was established in 1965 and inaugurated by the then Chancellor (Acharya) Smt. Indira Gandhi, along with the Principal (Adhakshya) of Kala Bhavana, Sri Nandalal Bose. Currently, the Kala Bhavana Museum has two exhibition galleries, located on the ground floor and first floor of the building. In addition, selected artworks from the museum's collection are displayed on the walls to highlight the museum's educational role. The galleries aim to showcase works from the museum's collection, organise exhibitions to promote art and artists, and host workshops, seminars, and documentary film screenings for students, teachers, and scholars.
