Sri jayachamarajendra art gallery formerly known as the jagan mohon palace, this building is now an art gallery. Exhibited on the walls of the spacious halls are examples of various schools of Indian art. The paintings include portrait of the royal family, puranic themes, landscapes and special themes.
Notable among them is the lady with the lamp of Ravi varma. A separate gallery is allotted to Mysore artists. Also on display are ancient musical instruments, antique furniture, sandalwood and ivory figurines. One grain of rice on which the ten incarnations of vishnu are carved is worth a closer look.
During Mysore tour this art gallery sometimes neglected by many tourists. But we find out time to experience artistic ability of our indian royal family. From mysore palace it is 40 kms. It is opposite of mysore bus stand.
The art gallery is maintained nicely. The look is royal house and inside its well maintained. Entry fee is 100/-. Nearby food or other stalls are not available. That's why the place keep its cleanliness. A good arr gallery in mysore enhance our knowledge.
