Birth of a Vision

Shah Alam Art Gallery is founded on 26 January 1991 by the Selangor Art Foundation, the gallery was born from the deep artistic passions of Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj. With contributions from leading figures like Datuk Syed Ahmad Jamal, it was built not only as a gallery but as a beacon of Malaysian creative identity.
