Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday inaugurated Kalinga Art Gallery and five regional art galleries. The Kalinga Art Gallery is the largest Art Gallery of the State located on the premises of the State Museum. The five regional art galleries have been set up in five districts namely, Chhatrapur (Ganjam), Puri, Balasore, Sambalpur and Koraput. The Odisha Lalit Kala Akademi has taken the initiative for the establishment of these art galleries.

Attending the function in virtual mode, the Chief Minister announced that a world-class museum complex will soon come up in the State. He said that he has directed the Department of Odia Language, Literature and Culture to develop a comprehensive master plan for a world-class museum complex with different facilities for history, art and culture.

Highlighting the cultural glory of the State, the Chief Minister said that Odisha is a great repository of rich cultural and artistic heritage. "We have unique traditions of painting, architecture, sculpture and handicrafts that reflect a long diverse cultural heritage. Art runs in our blood, ingrained in our minds. We owe a responsibility to our artistic traditions and should do everything to protect, conserve and promote this unique tradition," Patnaik said.
