The National Art Gallery was established in 1999 by the
Government of Maldives to source and collect Maldivian art of both past and
present with a view to forming a permanent collection, organize displays and
exhibitions of both Maldivian and international art on a regular basis, and
provide opportunities for Maldivian artists to develop and excel in their
professions, through facilitating educational opportunities and networking.
The Gallery is presently collecting work from both Maldivian and
international artists and assisting in the professional development of visual
artists through holding educational and promotional events such as
presentations and workshops.
