GALERI PETRONAS Embarks On A New Chapter At Ombak KLCC

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 8 (Bernama) -- GALERI PETRONAS has announced its relocation to Ombak KLCC, where it will continue to nurture contemporary art through new exhibitions, meaningful encounters and enriching cultural experiences.

As an anchor tenant, the gallery will introduce a special “First Glimpse” experience, giving visitors an exclusive preview of its new home and marking the start of a phased-opening ahead of the gallery’s full opening to the public by the end of 2027.

“The move reflects GALERI PETRONAS’ commitment to advancing Malaysia’s arts and cultural landscape. Through expanded opportunities for collaboration, creative exchange and community engagement, the gallery aims to strengthen the local arts ecosystem while supporting broader nation-building aspirations through arts and culture.

“The new space will also enable greater public access to the PETRONAS Art Collection, one of the country’s most significant corporate art collections amassed since 1993, while contributing to a vibrant arts destination that enriches the KLCC precinct and creates lasting value for visitors,” said PETRONAS in a statement today. 

Its vice president of Group Strategic Relations and Communications Norafizal Mat Saad said the relocation marked a new milestone for GALERI PETRONAS and reflected its continued commitment to making contemporary art more accessible to diverse communities.

“At its new home, we look forward to creating an inspiring environment where art connects people, sparks conversations and continues to shape new perspectives for generations to come,” he said.

Established in 1992 GALERI PETRONAS serves as a platform to promote, develop and preserve contemporary art in Malaysia by providing a world-class space for Malaysian and international artists to showcase their works, foster creative exchange and inspire artistic discourse.

Over the past three decades, the gallery has welcomed nearly two million visitors through its exhibitions and public programmes.

Previously located at Suria KLCC until the end of July, the gallery remains committed to making art accessible, engaging and inclusive while continuing to champion artistic expression through its programmes.
