Colombo Art Gallery is the first gallery to open down Sri Lanka’s only street dedicated to art; Gandhara Street. Dian Gomes curates the gallery’s selection with the same eye for detail as he does his own private collection, acquiring new pieces during his many travels abroad.

It is a treasure trove for art enthusiasts, containing art from Argentina, Spain, countries in Africa and the world over. Apart from the benefactor’s global selection, it is a haven for local talent; exhibiting paintings and sculptures as a tribute to many Sri Lankan artists. Dian’s attention to detail is evident within the bright and airy gallery, which provides respite from the hustle and bustle outside. The space is right next to some great coffee, delicious food and a stunning courtyard.
