Works of renowned Indian artists like Rabindranath Tagore, Jamini Roy, MF Hussain and Amrita Sher-Gill are housed here. The gallery throws light on the evolution of modern Indian paintings and sculpture. The treasures of NGMA span miniature paintings to modernist interventions and au courant contemporary expressions.

The NGMA had also acquired from various sources, by way of purchases and gifts, works of various European and Far Eastern artists. There are also many works by European artists who visited India in the 18th and 19th centuries. Among them, Tilly Kettle, William Hodges, Thomas Daniell and Emily Eden deserve special mention.

There is also an Art Reference Library with a good collection of art books, journals and periodicals as well as a sculpture garden at the back.
