The National Art Gallery (NAG) in Kuala Lumpur has announced in a statement today that the Kuala Lumpur Biennale 2020 (KUL Biennale 2020) has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 outbreak and the ensuing public health concerns in the coming months.

KUL Biennale was supposed to open in September and run until February 2021. The KUL Biennale 2020 is a partnership between the NAG and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB).
