About this audio guide
This guide to the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art in Delhi traces how a private collection began with one painting, Rameshwar Broota's The Runners, that Kiran insisted on buying over her husband's objections. It follows the collection's growth through works by M. F. Husain, F. N. Souza and S. H. Raza, founders of India's post-war Progressive Artists' Group, and a chase for a Raza canvas that ended at a London auction house. Look for the studio visit that changed Shiv's mind, still recounted at the entrance.
