Description

The museum is administered under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. [13] It curates an extensive and eclectic collection of works by professional artists hailing from all corners of the globe. [10] The museum's diverse portfolio encompasses an array of artistic expressions, including but not limited to paintings, drawings, graphics, sculptures, ceramics, heraldry, and melee weapons.

In addition to its permanent collection, the museum is renowned for organizing traveling exhibitions [14] [15] [16] [17] and engaging in various philanthropic endeavors.
