National Art Gallery, Art museum and cultural center in Segunbagicha, Dhaka, Bangladesh

The National Art Gallery is a two-storey building on the grounds of the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy in Segunbagicha, Dhaka. It holds paintings by leading Bangladeshi artists, among them Zainul Abedin and Quamrul Hassan, drawn from a permanent and a temporary collection. The building also has rooms used for lectures and workshops on art preservation.

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 holds paintings by leading Bangladeshi artists, among them Zainul Abedin and Quamrul Hassan. Since 1975 the academy has held the National Fine Arts Exhibition here every two years, and since 1982 the Asian Art Biennale and an exhibition for young artists. Workshops on the visual arts also take place in the building.

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 gallery opened in November 1974 inside the two-storey building beside the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy. Since 1975 the academy has held the National Fine Arts Exhibition there every two years, and from 1982 it added the Asian Art Biennale and an exhibition for young artists.
