After being closed since August 2020 for renovation, the National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur reopened its doors to the public in June this year.

This was a celebratory affair as not only were four exhibitions launched at the same time – including the national permanent collection show Nusa – but the Young Contemporaries Awards, or Bakat Muda Sezaman (BMS), 2021 winners, were announced then.
