National Art Gallery, Art museum and cultural center in Segunbagicha, Dhaka, Bangladesh
The National Art Gallery is a museum in Dhaka spread across two floors with exhibition spaces and workshops focused on art conservation. The building is designed with features that protect artworks from environmental damage.
The gallery was founded in 1974 as part of Bangladesh's arts academy and gained official status as the national art conservator in 2003. This recognition reflected the country's growing importance placed on protecting and documenting its artistic heritage.
The gallery displays works by artists from different periods of Bangladeshi art history. You can see how the country's artistic expression has evolved across generations.
Visitors can move easily between the two floors and the rooms provide plenty of space to view the artworks. Since exhibitions change regularly, visiting at different times offers new experiences.
The building was specially designed to protect artworks from humidity, temperature changes, and light exposure, making it a pioneer in modern museum techniques for the region. These protective measures are often not immediately visible but become clear through the quality of the displays.
