Established in 1987, Golal Art Gallery celebrates renowned Somali artists and intellectual Ali Said Hassan to promote and sustain the cultural identity collected by generations of Somali historians. Inspired by their virtues of creative expression through delectable art, we relish the power to cultivate a culturally orientated society and commemorate cultural heritage as the heart of this non-profit, charitable organisation.

The creator of this brand, Ali Said Hassan, who was an artist and film creator himself was also responsible for establishing the first art gallery in Somalia. Before the collapse of the Somali government, the gallery contained over 1123 valuable artifacts and paintings.

Driven by our dedication to protect the Somali heritage from malice and propaganda by the socialist government, we were able to preserve only 34 pieces out of the 1123 artifacts. The unique Golal Art Gallery aspires to exhibit and share the enriched work of Somali   Artists with the world, which has been so preciously preserved to connect compelling experiences of the past with the youth of today.
