Balai Seni Lukis Negara ditubuhkan pada 28 Ogos 1958, setahun selepas Malaysia mencapai kemerdekaan dari jajahan British. Galeri ini merupakan badan berkanun yang menerima geran tahunan dari Kementerian Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Pelancungan. Ia juga menerima sumbangan dari badan korporat dan penaja untuk melangsungkan aktiviti-aktiviti seni sampingan

.Dalam usaha untuk mempromosi kesedaran dan  apresiasi seni di seluruh peringkat masyarakat, objektif utama Balai Seni Lukis Negara adalah untuk mempersembahkan pameran dari dalam dan luar negara, seminar, bengkel, pertandingan dan aktiviti seni lain serta berusaha memperkembangkan koleksi tetapnya yang kini merangkumi lebih 2,500 karya. Dalam kata lain, kami ingin memupuk aktiviti kepakaran dan ingin menubuhkan koleksi seni kebangsaan.

Established on 28 August 1958 under the initiative of Tunku Abdul Rahman, the first Prime Minister of the newly independent Malaysia, the National Art Gallery started with a donation of 4 artworks and was housed in a borrowed space at the Dewan Tunku Abdul Rahman - Malaysia's first House of Parliament.

Today, with a permanent collection of more than 2500 pieces of artworks - the National Art Gallery is in its permanent state of the building  officially launched on 16 September 2000 by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohammed.

An agency under the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Tourism, the National Art Gallery is one of the most established art museums in South East Asia.  As Malaysia's official art institution, it has supported the endeavors of Malaysian artists through exhibitions locally and internationally since the early sixties.

More than a venue for ongoing exhibitions of local and international artists, the National Art Gallery is committed to encourage art awareness amongst the general public. It regularly hosts art competitions, seminars and workshops for art practitioners and students as well as numerous art-related events that appeal to the general public.
