THE HINDU
By Shailaja Tripathi
INDIA---Very few private museums owned by individuals exist in our city, and we have tried to cover those few we were aware of — Kiran Nadar’s Kiran Nadar Museum of Art and Aditya Arya’s Camera Museum. And as we come to the conclusion of this series, we feature yet another sterling example of one individual’s enterprise and zeal — senior artist Arpana Caur’s Museums of miniature painting and folk art housed in Arpana Caur’s Academy of Fine Arts and Literature in Siri Fort Institutional Area. The aesthetically designed red brick structure — is home to some rare Company paintings, Pahari, Deccani, Rajasthani, Mughal and Sikh miniatures. There is a sizeable collection of sculptures too.
