Southeast Asia is one of the popular places that patronizes art. Due to the interest of people, several art galleries have opened to quench the thirst of the art lovers. Moreover, people believe that Southeast Asia is incomplete without the mention of art not only in the palaces, pagodas, and temples but in the impressive art spaces. Some of the renowned art galleries that are worth visiting while you’re planning to make a trip in Southeast Asia are as follows:

The new political system has made the art to show contemporary creativity. The River Gallery is an exotic location where one can experience this aspect. You’ll find the works of both the established and the new Burmese artists. They illustrate a wide variety of themes and techniques in their works. The gallery organizes exhibitions in every part of the world and not just in Yangon.
