The National Art Gallery in Colombo, Sri Lanka is the country's first national art gallery. The gallery is located in Cinnamon Gardens near the Nelum Pokuna Mahinda Rajapaksa Theatre, Viharamahadevi Park, the National Museum of Colombo, the Town Hall, Colombo and Colombo Public Library. National Art gallery is a place that must be visited in Colombo without denying. Many travelers visit this colorful, attractive place hoping to enjoy Sri Lankan culture and heritage. In Sinhalese it is called ‘Jathika Kala Bhavana’. This is rather a wide margin and the most attractive art gallery in Colombo. The gallery is located on Ananda Kumaraswamy Mawatha, Colombo 7.A permanent exhibition hall, Eastern hall and western hall are the basic divisions of the Art gallery. Some permanent statues, models, portraits, and landscapes are positioned at the permanent division. Rest of the divisions can be changed by the Sri Lankan Artists. Artists can pay the national museum and reserve the western hall/ Eastern Hall for their purposes. The western gallery is 108 x 32 feet and an eastern gallery is 68 x 31 feet. Subsequently, the museum is well maintained and supported. The national Art gallery is a great place to discover Sri Lankan culture which has been modified with the growing demands of the generation. It has been a great chance for young artists and for those who are a lack of opportunity to exhibit their talents. The authority will give their utmost support to success your exhibition if you reserved the western or eastern gallery. Usually, the national art gallery is visited by some respectful artists. Even they are participated the exhibitions hosted at the place and eulogize and magnify the upcoming artists. Exclusively young local art-students, rising artists are on hand to describe the work which is perennially displayed.

The place had some beautiful, centuries old paintings. Unfortunately the place does not seem to be maintained that well. It's a shame really.

Very helpful employees, who explained who painted these paintings. Gallery is ongoing reconstruction, only a part is open, but free..

The most unassuming one room salon in a historic building across from a big park. A tiny splatter of Impressionism, surrealism and staged portraits of whom I have no clue. No info posted about artists or works. Good for a free slice of mysterious art history.
