Sabah Art Gallery

lthough the Sabah Art Gallery was founded in 1984, she has not had a permanent home until recently. For more than two decades the gallery has had to share facilities with the State Museum and hold exhibitions at a variety of venues in and around Kota Kinabalu. This year Sabah Art Gallery finally has a home.

Located on Mile 2, Jalan Penampang, Kota Kinabalu on a 1.7-hectare land, the building which is known as the Sabah Art Gallery Conservation Centre (Pusat Konservasi Balai Seni Lukis Sabah) has been the dream of the ex-director, the late Datuk Mohd. Yaman Hj. Ahmad Mus, who was also the founder of the Sabah Art Gallery. The dream was finally realized with the construction of the building which started in July 2010 was completed in Aug 2012.
