National Art Gallery (The), Kuala Lumpur

Since its establishment in 1958, the gallery shifted thrice before it finally settled into its own purpose-built premises. Located in the beautiful neighborhood of Lake Titiwangsa, it exhibits work by Malaysian artists. The building's unique structure, combining a blend of slate, tinted glass and a striking metallic roof, houses five galleries including a creative gallery and workshop, a resource center, an auditorium and the gallery's administrative center. Its collection now numbers over 2,500 pieces. The gallery holds a variety of exhibitions and educational programs. It also organizes traveling exhibitions of Malaysian artists.
