Nicholas Roerich Estate & Art Gallery
Roerich Art Gallery
The late-life home of Russian painter Nicholas Roerich, now a gallery displaying his oil paintings of the Himalayan snow peaks.
Russian painter and philosopher Nicholas Roerich settled in Naggar in 1928 and lived there until his death in 1947. The estate sits on a hillside about 1.5 km above Naggar Castle. The ground floor of his former home is now an art gallery, showing his oil paintings of the Himalayan peaks and mythology in bold colors. The garden contains a memorial stone to him, and above it are the former site of the Urusvati Himalayan Research Institute he founded and a folk museum. Admission is inexpensive, and the gallery is usually closed on Mondays, but check the notices on site.
