About National Art Gallery

The National Art Gallery hosts changing exhibitions. In 2026 these have included Vivid Realism by Hussain Ali Manik, whose paintings portray Maldivian traditions, and Colombo–Malé (10–17 September), pairing Sri Lankan and Maldivian artists. Details come from news reports, because the gallery has no website of its own.
