Kolkata Museum of Modern Art, Art museum in New Town, India.
Kolkata Museum of Modern Art is an art museum in New Town with two main zones spanning 50,000 square meters for galleries, education, research, and cultural activities. The complex groups together multiple artistic disciplines and provides space for visitors to explore different creative fields under one roof.
The foundation stone for this contemporary art center was laid by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in November 2013. The project marked a significant moment in developing the region's modern art infrastructure.
The museum brings together modern art, performing arts, music, film screenings, photography, literature, and sculptures in connected spaces. Visitors can experience multiple art forms and cultural expressions throughout the galleries.
The building uses passive climate control methods and a central water basin that adjusts to seasonal monsoon patterns. Visitors should expect room temperatures to vary by season, which is an intentional part of the design.
Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron designed the building using traditional Indian construction techniques, specifically stacked earthen bricks. The combination of contemporary design and local craft methods creates an unusual blend of modern and traditional architecture.
