Mumbai has a new contemporary art gallery: Inside Gallery Maxima
Sunaina Rajan has launched Gallery Maxima, a new contemporary art space located in Mumbai's historic Kitab Mahal. The gallery focuses on emerging artists and aims to move away from the traditional 'white-cube' aesthetic by incorporating a curated, maximalist design.

“I think I’ve wanted to open my own gallery since I was an embryo,” laughs Sunaina Rajan, founder of the 1,600 square-feet Gallery Maxima, Mumbai’s newest contemporary art gallery. “I always knew I had to do it. It was just about waiting for the right time, and feeling prepared enough to make the leap.”
