About

Why visit

47-A is a design gallery on the ground floor of a nineteenth-century Portuguese-style house in Khotachiwadi. Its exhibitions explore the meeting points of art, craft and design, making the venue a specific cultural stop within Girgaum's residential heritage village.

Distinct from a lane walk

The subject here is the gallery's curated display, not a second description of the whole neighbourhood. Check the active exhibition before visiting. A walk through Khotachiwadi may complement the outing, but access to private cottages, verandas and doorways remains separate from permission to enter the gallery.

Programme focus

The operator describes researched exhibitions across craft, art and design. Its past programme includes textiles, clay, painting and objects shaped by different approaches to making. These are examples of its range; the particular materials and makers available to study depend on the show currently installed.

Looking through design

Choose an object and consider three questions: how it was made, what it might be used for and how the display changes your response to it. Read the maker's or curator's explanation afterwards. This keeps the visit grounded in practical observations rather than a quick judgement about whether something is decorative.

Exhibition information

Read the current show dates carefully and confirm public visiting hours. Installation periods or a separately scheduled discussion can change the ordinary visit. The operator's archive is useful background, but an earlier catalogue should not be treated as evidence that those objects remain permanently available to view.

Find the venue

Use 47-A Khotachiwadi, Girgaum, as the specific arrival address. The gallery identifies its space as the house's ground floor. Ask directly about the entrance and any access needs rather than assuming that the whole heritage property is public or that every room is included in the visit.

Considerate finish

Photograph only with permission, keep bags clear of displayed objects and move quietly through the village afterwards. Confirm admission or programme-specific arrangements directly with the gallery before setting out.
