Indian Miniature Painting Gallery
About two hundred miniatures
are on display on the first floor. The collection has steadily
grown since the initial acquisition from Purushottam Mawaji in
1915 by the Trustees. Today the Museum houses one of the best
collections of miniatures in the country. .
Besides the representative examples from the major centres, there
are some important illustrated manuscripts such as the
Laur-Chanda of 1550-70, the Anwar-i-Suhaili painted in the
atelier of Akbar, a few folios from the Mewar Ramayana painted by
Manohar in 1649 and others.
The main gallery offers a bird's eye view of the development of
miniature painting in India, whereas the circle displays the
miniatures in thematic groups.
