National Art Gallery, Pakistan

National Art Gallery, Pakistan, Art museum in Islamabad, Pakistan.

The gallery is an art museum in Islamabad with 14 exhibition spaces spread across four floors. These rooms display Pakistani paintings, sculptures, prints, calligraphy, and traditional textiles in various combinations and arrangements.

The building resulted from a nationwide architectural competition in 1989 that selected a modernist brick cube design as the winning proposal. The museum opened to the public in 2007 as a new home for displaying the nation's artworks.

The collection showcases works by Pakistani artists spanning different periods, presenting paintings, sculptures, prints, and traditional textiles alongside each other. These pieces reveal the range of artistic expression and creative traditions that have developed across the country.

The museum sits across from the Parliament building and is easy to locate in the city center. Guided tours are available, and visitors can access an auditorium and a specialized art library during their visit.

The museum includes conservation laboratories and workshops where restoration work happens behind the scenes. An open-air theatre provides an unexpected venue for cultural performances within the gallery grounds.
