In August 2015, Ilham Gallery opened its doors in Kuala Lumpur with Picturing The Nation, a debut exhibition of portraits and sketches by the late Datuk Hoessein Enas (1924–1995), capturing scenes from his travels across a young Malaysia in the 1960s.

A decade on, Ilham Gallery is channelling that same spirit of exploration with "Skola Gambar Ilham" – a mobile gallery housed in a 12m climate-controlled shipping container, set to tour the country and bring Malaysian art to audiences beyond the capital.
