Ghare Baire
Why in News:
- Ghare Baire, the popular museum-exhibition in Kolkata that showcased two centuries of art in Bengal is shutting down.
- Ghare Baire (at home and the world) derived its name from the title of Rabindranath Tagore’s iconic novel, which later inspired Satyajit Ray to make a film by the same name.
- The museum-exhibition was inaugurated at the renovated Currency Building — which was built in 1833, located in BBD Bagh, also known as Dalhousie Square.
- Ghare Baire traced the evolution of art in Bengal from the arrival of travelling European artists to the establishment of one of the earliest colonial art schools, the rise of indigenous practices, a revivalist movement borne of resistance to imperial impositions as well as the high tide of modernism.
