National Art Gallery, Islamabad (must see)

The National Art Gallery in Islamabad is the first such gallery in the country. It is located on a small hill opposite the Parliament House and the Aiwan-e-Sadr. The design chosen for this facility was obtained through a nation-wide contest in 1989 and it belongs to architects Suhail Abbasi and Naeem Pasha. Their model represents a modernistic brick cube characterized by Miesian functionality. The Gallery opened to the public on 26 August 2007. This four-story building has 14 galleries with adjoining display areas, lecture halls, workshop rooms, laboratories, a library, and indoor and open-air theaters.
