Kolkata: Art & Crafts

Art & Crafts Kolkata has played an important role in the development of modern Indian art and crafts. People of Kolkata worth their salt (or fish!) have an artist's passion tucked away somewhere in the corners of their hearts. Small wonder, then, that the city is dotted with innumerable havens for art aficionados. The city has some of the country’s oldest art galleries and institutions, famous for their old and contemporary artistic heritages.
