History

The gallery opened on 6 November 2015 with an exhibition entitled 'Gopalapatanam', of work by 20 Indian artists – including Kerkar – on the topic of Goan history. Invitations to visit MOG were mailed to schools and colleges in the city.
Dutch artist Karin van der Molen's work Mind Bubbles was shown at MOG.
