The Museum of the Madras Movement at the Cholamandal Centre for Contemporary Art in Cholamandal Artists’ Village opened in 2009. It displays a representative collection of the works of prominent artists of the Madras Movement in contemporary Indian art.
The setting up of the Museum in 2009 at Cholamandal Artists’ Village has been a significant development since 1966 when the Village was established by a group of artists under the leadership of K.C.S. Paniker. The 55 artists represented in the Museum were all associated and trained at the Government College of Arts & Crafts, Madras (now Chennai). These include some of the founding members of Cholamandal Artists’ Village.
