"Did you know that Bombay in the early 20th century was a thriving centre for art and the artist community?" reveals Sabyasachi Mukherjee, director general, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, as he takes us on a walkthrough of the soon-to-open Circular Gallery for Visual Art. We are one of the privileged few to witness the setting up of the exhibition, as Dr Prasanna Mangrulkar, assistant curator (paintings and education), and his team are busy at work to meet the July end deadline for the opening of the first exhibition, Pravaha: A Glimpse from the Early Phase of Sir JJ School of Art and Progressive Art Movement (late 19th-mid 20th century CE).
