The National Art Gallery essentially consists of two long, rectangular halls - one containing the gallery's permanent collection and the other displaying temporary exhibitions by Sri Lankan artists. It's an interesting place with some very interesting works, but it's not really what you'd expect from a national gallery.

සිංහල ජාතික කලාභවනේ දිග හතරැස් ශාලා දෙකක් ඇත. ඉන් එකක් ස්ථිර ප්රදර්ශනය සඳහාය. අනෙක ලාංකික සිත්තරුන්ගේ ප්රදර්ශන පැවැත්වීම පිණිසය. එය හොඳ චිත්ර ඇති සිත්ඇදගන්නා තැනක් වුවත්, ජාතික කලාගාරයක් වන්නට තරම් සුදුසු තැනක් නොවේ
தமிழ் தேசிய கலாபவனம் இரண்டு செவ்வக மண்டபங்களை கொண்டது. ஒன்று தேசிய கலாபவனத்தின் நிரந்தரமான சேகரிப்புகளுக்கும் மற்றது தற்காலிகமாக ஓவிய கண்காட்சிகளின்போது ஓவியங்களை காட்சிப்படுத்துவதற்கும் பயன்படுத்தப்படுகின்றது. இது எமது நாட்டின் சிறந்த ஓவியங்களை பார்வையிடுவதற்கான சுவார்ஸ்யமான இடமென்றாலும் ஒரு தேசிய கலாபவனம் இவ்வளவுதானா என்று யோசிப்பீர்கள்! அதற்கு ஒரு காரணம் ஓவியங்களை எந்த ஒழுங்கில் ஒழுங்குபடுத்தியிருக்கிறார்கள் என்பது புரியவேயில்லை.

I travel to Colombo often from Australia, and due to bad reviews I have always avoided this gallery. I finally decided to visit and was horrified at the state of this gallery.

Sri Lanka you are losing your historical art history through neglect.
