Kolkatans can look forward to witnessing an evocative slice of colonial art as modern art curating organisation DAG, in collaboration with Alipore Museum, is set to organise an exhibition, Destination India: foreign Artists in India 1857-1947.
The exhibition will have a preview, followed by a walkthrough on February 27 and will be open for public viewing from February 28 to May 2.
Showcasing a rarely seen archive of works by foreign painters and printmakers, the exhibition traces how international artists perceived and documented India during the period of sweeping political and cultural change. Through landscapes, street scenes and everyday vignettes, the collection will offer a visual chronicle of a transforming nation.
For art lovers in Kolkata, the showcase promises both aesthetic delight and historical insight, spotlighting a perspective that shaped global impressions of India long before independence.

Date: February 27 to May 2
