History & Legacy
Established in 1857, Sir JJ School of Art has pioneered Art, Architecture and Design education and practice in India. It was named after Sir Jamshedjee Jeejeebhoy, the first Baronet from India, who had generously donated Rupee 100,000 for its establishment. The campus boasts nine acres of space and has been recognised by the government of India as a heritage campus. Since then, all the schools at JJ have established a proven track record of setting domain-specific standards for the past 160 years. Located in the prime location of South Mumbai, all three schools of JJ rest at the single heritage campus, recognized worldwide as the Sir JJ Art Campus.
