Himmat Museum

At Bodhgama, on the outskirts of Patna, the Himmat Museum celebrates the spirit and legacy of Indian sculptor Shri Himmat Shah. Designed by Japanese architect Rahul Gore of Opolis Design Studio, the 12,000 sq ft museum offers a calm, light-filled setting for the Saraswati Foundation’s collection and contemporary artistic practice. Its open, naturally ventilated spaces reflect a belief in artistic freedom, clarity and excellence.

Art, architecture and emerging voices

The museum houses the Saraswati Foundation’s permanent collection, alongside works produced at Arpana Kala Kendra. Visitors enter on the ground floor, with reception and seating; the first and second floors display the Foundation’s collection.

The third-floor gallery is reserved for temporary exhibitions by promising young artists, creating space for conversation between established masters and new voices. Admission is free and visits are by appointment.
