Over time, with the growing presence and importance of Indian art within the international art community, the Gaurs’ natural
impulse toward exhibition and education of this cultural heritage has led to substantial gifts of art to major US museums.

The Gaur collection contains cohesive groups of works focusing on historical periods, artistic media, and cultural groups. Two of
these subsets are photography and indigenous art. The Gaurs have made donations of these sizable collections to public
institutions and have done so with careful consideration to which venues will best enhance their impact.
