publications for the people from all walks of life. There are
books for children, for common visitors and for the scholars
interested in the study of art, architecture, painting,

Besides bringing out art publications on Indian Art &

research journal, research publications, guide books,
gallery sheets, brochures on exhibitions and galleries,
catalogues, monographs, activity books, picture postcard,
reproductions and other finding-aids required by the
scholars and general public. Earlier the publications were
brought out mostly in English. Of late, the efforts have been
made to provide the material in Hindi as well, for the benefit
of common people. Many of the publications published by
the National Museum are comparable to the best art books
published anywhere in the world. Some of them have
fetched the Presidential award of their quality of production.
Besides National Museum's sale counter, these
publications are also available at Publications Divisions,
Patiala House (New Delhi) as they are the sole distributors.
