Galeri Petronas, regarded as a major art destination in Kuala Lumpur, has ceased to operate as a public gallery this month following a realignment of its operating model to adapt to the changes brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Despite the closure of the gallery’s public space, artworks from the Petronas Art Collection remain available for loan to relevant programmes and initiatives. This is in line with Petronas’ long-standing commitment to promote greater understanding and appreciation of the arts in Malaysia," read a media announcement from Petronas.
