Briefly describe the history of the museum, its collection and donors.
Sangraha, which literally translates to collection, is a museum that exhibits all the major artworks and handicrafts that were used to furnish the most famous and award winning Durga Puja theme pandals in 2016, which have been duly collected and curated by the honorable Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee. She has always maintained that the artworks of the pandals warranted preservation and hence encouraged restoration of the same, so that people will be able to feel the essence of these masterpieces throughout the year and not just during the festival days. The museum also allows one to gather knowledge about the brief history of the creations and the influence of art, if one so wishes.
