Government Museum and Art Gallery, Chandigarh, Art and natural history museum in Chandigarh, India.
The museum exhibits an extensive collection of Gandharan sculptures, Indian miniature paintings, and contemporary artworks across multiple exhibition halls and galleries.
Following India's partition in 1947, the museum received forty percent of the art collection from the Central Museum in Lahore, establishing its foundation.
The institution maintains galleries dedicated to regional artistic traditions, featuring Pahari and Rajasthani miniature paintings that represent different Indian art schools.
Located in Sector 10, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM, offering guided tours of the collections.
The concrete building, designed by Le Corbusier in the early 1960s, incorporates metal-paneled doors and sculpturesque gargoyles that reflect Chandigarh's architectural identity.
