Founded by Martha Gunawan back in 1983, the gallery was previously known as Mon Decor Art Gallery located in several popular shopping malls, like Plaza Senayan, Wisma Mulia and Grand Indonesia Shopping Town. However, as the gallery needs a bigger space to exhibit more artworks, it was transformed into the Art:1 New Museum and Art Space in 2011.

This 4,000 square meter building hosts a huge number of art installations from legendary and contemporary Indonesian and international artists, with works dating back to the 1940s. The gallery is also completed with a merchandise shop, office area, a consulting space for your restoration and framing needs, and a cozy outdoor space for you to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee.
