The Nehru Center Art Gallery is one of the finest places to be visited if you are an Art lover. The place is enormous, with plentiful auditoriums, which means there is always some or other event.
The India Art Festival was conducted here in the first week of February 2024. True to its name, the festival attracted artists from all over the country to display their artwork. The best part was seeing many people enthusiastically participating in the festival. This included right from the actual art buyers to people like me who simply love paintings and were there to witness the same.
Then, a foodFix expo was recently conducted in March 2024. This was specifically targeted towards kids. There were multiple stalls where kids could learn fun cooking, painting, or even playing in a manmade igloo with balloons and soft toys. In one part of the exhibition, there were actual food stalls created by various entrepreneurs. These included everything from fresh fruit juices to dips and sauces to homemade pickles and chutneys. There was also a stall from Mojo bars selling their flagship protein bars and chocolates.
But the best part about the art gallery is the Discovery of India exhibition on the first floor. It's one of the most brilliant exhibition pieces, covering about 50,000 years of human history, with the latter part focusing on the history of the Indian subcontinent. Much of the work described here has been taken from the classic work of Bharat's first prime Minister Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru's book with the same name. If you have school-going kids, this exhibition is a must-visit as it has neatly laid down the ancient, medieval, and modern history till the 21st century in absolute detail. Audio guides are also available for a mere INR 100, which can take you through the entire exhibition in even more detail.
Thus, the Nehru Center Art Gallery is one of the best places to be if you wish to spend some time. It can cater to people of any age, from school-going kids to retired individuals !!!

Promoting the young talents the art gallery was contributing much to the development of Scince and Art. The prestigious bulding with huge size and premises standing tall having history of art, culture and painting was utilised by many. Photgraphy was not allowed. The vision of Modern India by Nehruji being appreciated . But the employees needed to be more diligent and alet by guiding the visitors since noticed some not not helpful. Need supervvision and checklist.

Nehru Science Centre is very informative and real
It provides you with a lot of knowledge about what exists and what needs to be done for the environment.
Everything here is quite practical.
The best part about NSC is it has a 3D and 120 degrees theatre hall in which they play short videos and clips!
Truly loved the virtual creativity of dinosaurs here!

Beautiful Discovery Of India exhibition on first floor - a must see. Then there are the two art galleries on the ground floor. The building itself is good... the Nehru Planetorium is bang opposite, the Nehru Science center is close by and there is great food available at Copper Chimney - a two minute walk from here. If you like malls, the Atria mall is also right next door... all in all, a great place to go to.

The Nehru Centre at Worli has a permanent Discovery Of India exhibit on the first floor which is free for entry for all. On one side, there is a life history of Jawaharlal Nehru from his birth, education, return to India, participation in the freedom struggle, etc. There are some unique photographs including one with George Bernard Shaw and Albert Einstein.
The other side has India's history right from the pre-historic era to the Mauryan, Mughal, Maratha Empire and ending with India's Independence. The exhibits are quite detailed and there is so much to read and learn that one can easily spend 3-4 hours just going through everything. I loved the little tidbits mentioned against most items and recreation of Akbar's court, the jails where the freedom fighters were imprisoned, the costumes and jewellery of each era.
Visiting it is like time travelling back into the past and enriching one's knowledge immensely. I hope more and more people visit this exhibit and take away something from it.

I consider this a hidden gem, as many are unaware of it.
They often visit the Nehru Planetarium, without walking up to the first floor to visit the India Discovery Centre located just adjacent to it.
This is truly a place where you either discover things you never knew about or know more about things you just knew fleetingly.
India's history and culture is superbly documented over here. It is like walking into a history book. School children will really relate to a lot of the stuff out here.
The environs are very pleasant and soothing. It is never crowded as such.
Besides...It is 'Free'.

Nehru Centre is a memorial to Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru, who symbolised the ideals of enlightened curiosity, scientific temper, secular values and a faith in the people of India. The purpose of this Centre is to promote the teachings and ideals of Nehru through educational and cultural programmes. The Centre organises scientific, cultural and educational activities and has a fantastic exhibition hall for various put ups.
