National Art Gallery, Colombo

  • 27

This art gallery has a small collection of paintings & sculptures. Many tourists comment on the sad state of the gallery as there are no labels or descriptions and the art works are not being curated properly.

There are two sections in this Art Gallery, the permanent gallery and the temporary gallery. The permanent gallery has a small collection of art works, however the whole gallery is not something you’d expect of a national art gallery. Specially with no labels or descriptions and not having anyone who can explain the artworks it won't be an appealing experience.

Closer to the art gallery there are other attractions like the Viharamahadevi Park, National Museum and the Nelum Pokuna Theatre.
