Sabah Art Gallery

Sabah Art Gallery, Art gallery in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

Sabah Art Gallery (Balai Seni Lukis Sabah) is an art gallery in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Its octagonal, basket-shaped building stands on a 1.7-hectare site and cost MYR16 million to construct. Inside are two gallery spaces: a permanent gallery holding over 3,000 works by Malaysian and international artists, and a temporary gallery for changing exhibitions.

The Sabah Art Gallery was founded in 1984 by Datuk Mohd. Yaman Hj. Ahmad Mus. In 2012 the Green Building Index Accreditation Panel certified it as a green building. On 9 November 2013 Chief Minister Musa Aman officiated its conservation centre building, timed to the 50th anniversary of Sabah's accession into the federation of Malaysia.

The gallery's Malay name, Balai Seni Lukis Sabah, pairs the state name with balai (hall) and lukis (painting), so it reads simply as Sabah's painting hall. Its permanent collection holds over 3,000 works by Malaysian and international artists, and the temporary gallery changes shows, with workshops and competitions held alongside.

The gallery stands on a 1.7-hectare site in Kota Kinabalu, with two gallery spaces: a permanent collection and a temporary exhibition area. Allow time for both, since the permanent space alone holds more than 3,000 works. The building was certified as a green building in 2012.
