The National Museum, New Delhi has in its possession over 2,00,000 works of exquisite art, both of Indian and Foreign origin covering more than 5,000 years of our cultural heritage. The rich holdings of various creative traditions and disciplines which represent a unity amidst diversity, an unmatched blend of the past with the present and strong perspective for the future, bring history to life. Moving on to the Craft Museum-where Ink drawings on parchment, handmade Himalayan shawls, mirrored fabrics and other souvenirs are on display. There are often live demonstrations by craftsmen, and the museum itself has an absorbing array of exhibits, including an artisan's entire wooden house stuffed into the back of a room. Next and high on our list of out art tour is the Gallery Nature Morte. Founded in New York's East Village in 1982 and closed in 1988, Peter Nagy revived Nature Morte in New Delhi in 1997 as an itinerant gallery and a curatorial experiment. Since then, Nature Morte has become synonymous in India with challenging and experimental forms of art; championing conceptual, photographic, and installation genres within a commercial market that remains fixated on painting. Concentrating primarily on the works of Indian artists, Nature Morte has also organized projects and exhibitions with international artists coming to India and combining their works with those of Indian artists to foster cross-cultural communications. We end the day with a visit to the Art Alive Gallery- Art Alive Gallery is one of the leading and forward-looking galleries in India. It was set up in 2001 by Sunaina Anand to aid Indian art practices. The Gallery has successfully bridged a distance between the two centuries, while exploring new paradigms by putting up shows like: 'Bridges' (2005), 'Tatva'(2006), 'An Indian Summer' (2007) and 'Generation Next' (2007). Also it facilitates a platform for innovative, experimental art practices that respond to present socio-cultural dilemmas, amongst which are solo shows: 'Encounter' by Veer Munshi (2006), 'Distinguished Company'. In the evening a cocktail reception introducing the group to Ms. Bulbul Sharma, a leading Artist based in Delhi is organised and guests will have an opportunity to interact and discuss the present day art scene in India with Ms. Sharma.
