Collection

Jatin Das started collecting beautifully crafted objects, much before the idea of the Centre came into being.

As the idea of the Art Centre grew, his house and studio became filled with the growing eclectic pieces. With different galleries in view, Jatin goes on acquiring unusual hand-crafted articles, even today, both in India and overseas.
