First Glimpse & Preview | Galeri Petronas

A New Space, Taking Shape

GALERI PETRONAS is not just reopening — it is evolving.

This is a moment of emergence. A new space is taking shape at Ombak KLCC. The ground floor is awakening. And you are invited to witness what unfolds.

This is not the full story. This is just the beginning.

Three Dimensions of Experience: What Awaits

GALERI PETRONAS invites you to an exclusive preview of our new home at Ombak KLCC.

Opening in August 2026, The First Glimpse is your chance to step inside and experience our evolution while it is still in motion.

Through interactive moments, we invite you to feel the pulse of this new space — to explore, reflect and engage with an exhibition that grows alongside us. You will witness a gallery in transition, evolving through three distinct lenses: Institutional, Interpersonal and Respirational.

Come for a glimpse, stay for the journey.

Institutional

Discover our gallery’s growing role within Malaysia and the Southeast Asian arts landscape. This lens offers a closer look at our vision, purpose and the conversations we hope to shape through art and culture.

Interpersonal

Experience our gallery through the power of connection. We invite you to step into the atmosphere of our highly anticipated new space. Engage with interactive encounters, share moments with one another, and explore entirely on your own terms.

Respirational

Feel the rhythm of a gallery in motion. Immerse yourself with your art that flows through the very pulse of the new GALERI PETRONAS. Watch it move, evolve and transform — creating continuous spaces for pause, reflection and unexpected discovery.

A Space in Progress

Step into The First Glimpse, an exclusive preview of our new home at Ombak KLCC, and experience our evolution while it is still in motion.

A Season, Not Forever

GALERI PETRONAS is still evolving, and this early chapter of our new home will not stay the same for long.

The ground floor experience will continue to grow and transform over time. What you see now — open, in progress and full of possibility — exists only in this moment.

Early visitors will experience the gallery differently: more closely, more personally, and as part of a story still taking shape.

Be among the first to experience the new GALERI PETRONAS.
