Museum Of Croydon
Croydon Museum Service owns two paintings by the Bengali Artist and poet – Rabindranath Tagore. One is of a bearded face and the other is of five profiles overlapping. The two paintings were given to Mr Ranald Newson of Croydon in 1900 as thanks for his work at the college of Santiniketan, a semi-religious institution founded by Tagore with instructions that they be passed onto the local authority.
The two paintings are ink paintings so are not on long term display but can be viewed by appointment
