The National Art Gallery of Malaysia (Malay: Balai Seni Negara; Jawi: بالاي سني نڬارا) is a public art gallery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[1]
The gallery is situated along Jalan Tun Razak, on the northern edge of central Kuala Lumpur. It is located next to the Istana Budaya, which is Malaysia's main venue for all types of theatre including musical theatre, operetta, classical concert and opera from local and international performances. As of today, this art agency, a statutory body under the Ministry of Tourism Art and Culture is simply known as the "National Art Gallery".
The 'National Art Gallery' was designed by Dato' Ar. Mir Shariman of Arkitek MAA Sdn Bhd, with gallery spaces flanking the circular ramp serve as exhibition areas for more intimate and contemplative viewing. Spiral ramp in the middle provides dynamic visual experience to visitors from different angles at every level.
