Virtual Exhibitions
Kapoor Galleries' website offers an abundant array of Virtual Exhibitions with fine paintings, sculptures, and works of art that can be perused in an online gallery. In addition to the recent exhibition Dhanvantari's Blessing, other notable presentations include Incarnations of Devotion: South Asian Works of Art, Incarnations of Devotion: Tibetan and Buddhist Paintings and Bronzes, and God/Goddess, to name a few. Viewers can follow a guided tour, which makes catalogue text readily available next to the artworks, or proceed as they wish.

Indian Travel Posters
In addition to fine art, Kapoor Galleries offers a rich array of Indian 20th Century Travel Posters. Travel posters became popular in the 20th century with the expansion of travel through cruise ships, railways, and airlines. These posters served as advertisements that promised adventure and exoticism to anyone who could obtain a ticket. Travel agencies often commissioned the posters themselves, and gained more traction with the public when they employed commercial designers instead of fine artists. These prints were intended to grab the attention of people in travel offices, train stations, airports, and more.
A selection of Travel Posters that feature Air-India's star mascot, the Maharaja, will be featured this autumn, September 12-February 12, in an exhibition at Poster House, Air-India’s Maharaja: Advertising Gone Rogue. For a Member Monday feature about this project, click here.
