Chemould Prescott Road, Contemporary art museum in Fort district, Mumbai, India
Chemould Prescott Road is a contemporary art museum in Fort district, Mumbai, housed on the third floor of Queen's Mansion with roughly 3,000 square feet of gallery space. It displays paintings, sculptures, installations, and photography from Indian artists across multiple generations.
Gallery Chemould was established in 1963 by Kekoo and Khorshed Gandhy as the first contemporary art space in Mumbai, pioneering support for modern Indian artists. The gallery relocated to its current Prescott Road location in 2007 while maintaining its original mission.
The gallery exhibits works by both established Indian artists and emerging talents, creating a space where diverse artistic voices and perspectives are shown together.
The gallery sits on Prescott Road in Fort district and is easily accessible on foot, with exhibitions displayed year-round during regular business hours. The central location is well-served by public transportation.
The gallery is deeply tied to the Gandhy family legacy, with the third generation now leading Chemould CoLab, a dedicated exhibition space in Colaba for emerging artists to showcase their first works. This satellite location serves as a launching pad for new creative voices.
