The Nationa Art Gallery, popularly called PNCA is an excellent place to spend a quiet afternoon with contemporary art as well as with visiting art exhibitions! Sometimes books are also put up for display and sale.

Being an Artist, PNCA is a fantastic place to spend some time in an artistic environment. Usually many of the well known Artist from all over the country display their artworks and we got to have some time with such a mind blowing icons of the art society. They do have a music festival once a year and I love to go there for the music festival.

A very creative and Artistic place ever Ive seen

Such a nice place to organize any Art and cultural events, need and clean auditorium having all facilities for example sounds, multimedia and comfortable seats.

It was an amazing experience in shaam e ghazal . nd was superb experience,

Have not updated there opening and closing timings during COVID crisis on the Google maps. Travelled all the way only to know that it was closed. Gallery opens after Sept 15..

An iconic work / design, a beautiful big complex for the lovers of arts and craft.

Loved the place, people who look for fun, culture and Art should visit this place..

One of the most pristine and one-of-its kind institutes in Islamabad that promote arts through nearly all mediums. Also an amazing event venue which has hosted some of the biggest events in Islamabad to date. A must visit for any local. The place is full of amazing works of art across the hallways including paintings and statues. There is also an open law to support events of all kinds. Ideal venue for all sorts of conferences and events.

Good place, we attended #ACP19 #AgilePk conference there

Visited on 27th Feb PAF Swift Retort Day. Worth visiting nd mentioning place

Loved it! Divvy Film Festival is worth the time!

PNCA is a great place to have cultural and social events. It is located behind Marriot hotel Islamabad. Very peaceful and green area. The vicinity does not have a proper parking area so you have to park your car on the empty plot outside the premises.

One of the most elegant buildings in Islamabad. It offers a glimps of all regional cultures and is a wonderful platform for local, national and international artists.

Its is a nice place and somedays has puppet shows for kids

Very nice place for artistic activities. Cleanliness good.Security tight.Hub of activities in Islamabad. Elite comes here.Good parking. Nice auditorium and decent seating arrangement.Wash rooms clean.Nice staff.Highly recommended.

Peaceful and lovely place for art lovers. A must visit for artists and admirers as well.

This best palace to show our talent.

The staff is rude. Great work showcased. But the place needs directions inside the building.

One of the few well organized spaces for arts, crafts and recreational activities for the masses.

Pakistan National Council of The Arts is one of the most amazing places in terms of revisiting the Pakistani culture and knowing just beyond your own history. Its a place where people gather to know the rich cultural history of Pakistan and its past leaders. Moreso, alot of amazing things come around that not only highlight the nations culture but also its history and relations with other nations. Which is truly exciting. So if youre some one willing to know about the Pakistan history in terms of art and culture, PNCA is tje place to be.

Amazing to see such art gallery exist in Islamabad only need little awareness for the public and authirities should maintain the building and guide should always be present to brief

Beat place. National Art Gallery in Islamabad, Pakistan is the countrys first national art gallery. Built on a small hillock opposite the Majlis-e-Shoora(the Parliament of Pakistan) and the Aiwan-e-Sadr. It opened to the public on Sunday, August 26, 2007. National Art Gallery, Pakistan is a part of the larger organization called Pakistan National Council of the Arts

Amazing place, Ive many events here but this day was beyond levels.

Amazing place to witness diverse culture, tradition, languages and Art of Pakistan.

Beautiful architectures, clean place, big auditorium shows different exhibits regarding art

My experience is always so good. Either im going for any exhibition or any classes.

Most of my experiences here have been great. Whether it was a tribute to Mehdi Hassan or Ajokas Bulleh Shah or more recently Nach na Janay, my visits to PNCA auditorium continue to enrich me.

Great place for entertainment industry.

Best place to entertainment and conferences

I went to PNCA to attend EuroVillage. The event was well organized. Let me tell you that PNCA is a very well organized organization. Most of the events of Islamabad happens at this place. Also, the building is beautiful built.

A beautiful building that hosts a lot of cultural and artistic events and exhibitions. Great atmosphere and awesome events. Do make it a stop on your next trip to Islamabad. But make sure you check out their website and Facebook page before paying a visit

An amazing place to organize University or school level programs. Good auditorium facility

Awesome place, nice architecture! Loved it!

Watched Twins Apart here. Well maintained, managed and organized. Experience was amazing. Parking is ample. Loved it.

Best Place for events in islamabad. Had a great time there and been attending the events there from past 5 years.

Excellent place to visit with family and friends.

Professional training good place

Great exterior architecture. Excellent theatre inside. Building is neat and clean. Ample parking space inside and outside.Like all other public places, washrooms are unusable. Very dirty and old without toiletries

Very intriguing and beautiful display of modern and contemporary art. Must visit

Good ambiance, seems affordable. Location is a bit of hassle to get to. Holds a lot of events. Most of them are free. You can see lots of foreigners here and there. German Embassy seems to hold a lot of events there along with agencies promoting Tourism in China. The people who visit are decent and mature. Sometimes you might encounter people with childish attitude. But that counts as variety.

It was awesome

Somehow costly.. but good plac

Really Amazing to See Art Work

Really good standard plays and exhibitions. Seen a play Howa kuch Youn

An awesome place and a pefomrance and vsiual art hub in islamabad

Great Auditorium. Watched drama Twins Apart sponsored by MCB Arif Habib

State of the art organization.Promote arts.But not easily in access of common man. Delivery of services is not of the mark.

Pakistan National Council of Arts is a hub of cultural and artistic activities in federal capital of Islamabad. It is located in Red Zone behind Marriott Hotel. This is most safest place for foreigners in city. It has some very nice meeting rooms plus a state of the art Auditorium having the capacity of almost 300 people. I always love to go there with family and friends. Strong recommendation.

Nice place where u can get classic and artistic people and their work

Just another waste of tax payer money.

Sometimes I wonder why such places are not easily accessible to public. It has a beautiful auditorium and several galleries for art exhibits. The interiors are well-curated. Its accessibility is mainly compromised by its location in the Red Zone.

Great place for Arts, Embassies and History. Alot of Cultural programs are held here. Theres Chinese Gallery there as well. Theres a Big Art Gallery too with poetry. Many Exhibitions are held here.Not a place eating tho.

Pakistan national council of arts is a great place..sadly it is not being utizlied at its full potential mainly because it is situated in red zone and the building is in an isolated area behind Marriott hotel. I am living in Islamabad for 26 years and I had a hard time to find it.

A great place for organizing events. The Management was superb. Khumariyan rocked the show

Recently been there for a TEDx event. It really was great. Separate elevator for the elderly and PWDs. Enough parking space. Nice security details. One thing I observed was that there should be a ramp for PWDs the stage.

PNCA was set up to spearhead the development of arts in Pakistan by an Act of Parliament in 1973. It aims to build a robust arts ecosystem by creating an environment conducive to the flourishing of the arts, where the arts are accessible to everyone and artists and art groups have the commitment, financial support and resources, and to excel at home, and on the world stage. PNCA policies are framed by its Board of Governors which reports to the federal Minister for National Heritage and Integration within the Ministry of Culture.

Really amazing space for Art and Craft.

I would have given it 10 out of 5 stars if i could. A MUST VISIT for the art lovers. I dont know why it is not one of the more recognized places in Islamabad? It definitely should be
