Art & Heritage Tour - Shri Bhavani Museum




Continuing with our tradition of weekend trips, Art2Day Gallery along with Black Swan had organized a one day art tour to Shri Bhavani Museum, or the Aundh museum, located on the slopes of the picturesque small town of Aundh 43 kms from Satara. The museum treasures include about 8,000 articles & 16,000 texts of numerous books, and about 3500 handwritten holy books. on display are the renowned paintings of Raja Ravi Verma, Oleti of Thakursing, and celebrated western artists such as Karnil, Andridil, Sortobardana, & Francis Goya. The museum also has a large section of marble structures including the famous 'Mother and Child' by Henry Moore. A unique collection of miniature painting series is also on display.
We spend time gazing at the works of famous artists, go back in time through the intricate sandalwood carvings depicting the Ramayana and the Shivcharitra, got insights into the statues of 6 Indian seasons, and more…and ofcourse the lip smacking lunch, specially made in the true to nature local flavor, just to complete the experience!
