Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery

As the name suggests, Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery explores the Bank’s role in the Malaysian economy and financial landscape. That’s fine if you’re into all things fiscal (and even makes for a fun day out with the little ones), but we say skip straight ahead to the art gallery on the third floor; the Bank’s art collection stands at about 1,700 works, and whilst that figure doesn’t top Balai Seni Negara, it’s substantial. At 10,000 sq ft, the art gallery exhibits paintings, prints and sculptures. Here, find famous works by familiar names like Abdullah Ariff, Chang Fee Ming, Khalil Ibrahim, Mohd Hoessein Enas, Redza Piyadasa, and Syed Ahmad Jamal, and more. Admission is free.
