Roerich Art Gallery, Kullu (Himachal Pradesh)

Have you ever heard of Russian landscape artist Nicholas Roerich? He was an archaeologist, philosopher, scientist and mystic. He had a keen interest in studying a range of Himalayan centric subjects including herbal plants, geology, archaeology, anthropology, meteorology, cosmic rays etc. Dedicated to this landscape painter stands the Nicholas Roerich Art Gallery on the slopes of Naggar in the Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh. The art gallery stands amidst the verdant sprawling premises of the International Roerich Memorial Trust.

For photographers and lovers of Himalayas, a visit to the Roerich Art Galler in Kullu can be a useful experience. The best part about Roerich's works of art is that they are not only imaginative. His works also touch the magic that he experienced in the Himalayan massifs. Fiery sunset clouds, dusty Tibetan and Ladakhi landscapes, turquoise rivers of the Himalayas and the snow-capped blue have all been exhibited magnificently and effectively in his paintings at the Nicholas Roerich Art Gallery in Kullu. These works of art give the visitors an opportunity to spiritually experience the multihued landscapes of Himalayas.


During your tour to Kullu, it will be interesting to explore the wide range of artwork at the gallery. Ancient sculptures of local deities are a big attraction for tourists. Also remember to visit the Folk Art Centre to enjoy the contemporary works of art by Himalayan artists. The magic of the Himalayas truly comes alive in the works of Nicholas Roerich at the gallery.
