The National Art Gallery of Namibia (NAGN) is situated at the corner of
Robert Mugabe Avenue and John Meinert Street in Windhoek, the capital city of
Namibia. Before independence in 1990, the coordination of visual art and crafts
at a national level was carried out by the Arts Association of Namibia (AAN).
From the time of independence in 1990, efforts were underway to create a
National Art Gallery of Namibia. The NAGN formally came into being with the
promulgation of the National Art Gallery of Namibia Act 14 of 2000. Today the
National Art Gallery of Namibia is a national museum, housing the Arts
Association Heritage Trust Permanent Collection and the NAGN Permanent
Collection. The NAGN also hosts contemporary exhibitions of local, national and
international Art.
