The National Art Gallery of Cagliari is one of the exhibition venues of the National Museums of Cagliari, an Institute of the Ministry of Culture endowed with special autonomy since 2019.
It is located in the upper part of the ancient district of Castello, inside Cittadella dei Musei, a cultural complex built between 1956 and 1979, with the recovery of the Royal Savoy Arsenal and the former Spanish city walls, based on a project by the architects Libero Cecchini and Piero Gazzola.
The Art Gallery preserves and exhibits a pictorial collection focusing on local Sardinian, Italian, Spanish and Flemish production from the 15th century to the contemporary period, articulated on three recently renovated exhibition floors.
Access is through the third floor of the Archaeological Museum.
In addition, the collection includes artefacts of liturgical production and use as well, displayed in showcases along the route. In the near future its collections of handicrafts, such as collections of ceramics, monumental fragments, weapons, textiles and woven objects will be also displayed.
