The National Art Gallery in Islamabad Pakistan is a newly established art gallery in the capital city since 2007. It is built on a small hillock opposite the Majlis-e-Shoora (the Parliament of Pakistan) and the Aiwan-e-Sadr. It has 1800 square yards, has 14 galleries with adjacent display areas, lecture halls, workshop and storage facilities, laboratories and library. Designed by architects Naeem Pasha and Suhail Abbasi, it is a model of Miesian purity and functionality.
