MODERN ART GALLERY - RAM NIWAS BAGH : A small gallery in the first floor of the Ravindra Manch Auditorium shows a selection of works by the well known modern artists and sculptors of Rajasthan.
A garden planned by Maharaja Ram Sigh in the 19th century as a famine relief project, this extensive park consists of a zoo, aviary, herbarium, museum and sports complex. An added attraction is the Albert Hall, designed by Sir Swinton Jacob, a British architect who created palaces for many rulers in Rajasthan. The Hall is home to an exquisite collection of sculptures, paintings, objects d’art, natural history specimens, an Egyptian mummy and a beautiful Persian carpet. Recently, the Rabbinic Manchu with an auditorium, a modern art gallery and an open-air theatre, has been added to promote cultural events.
