The White Gallery is a distinguished art gallery located in the Culture Sector of Cárdenas, the capital city of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Known for its impressive neoclassical architecture and significant cultural contributions, the White Gallery was established in the building constructed in 1690 AN and has since become a central hub for the arts community in Nouvelle Alexandrie.

History

Originally built as a private mansion for a prominent Cardenas family, the structure was acquired by the city in 1710 AN and repurposed into an art gallery. The transition to a public cultural space was part of a broader initiative to cultivate a vibrant arts scene in the capital.

Architecture

The White Gallery is an exemplar of neoclassical architecture, with its symmetrical design, grand columns, and intricate moldings. The building's facade, illuminated by strategic lighting, presents an inviting presence that has become iconic in the cityscape of Cardenas.

Collections and Exhibitions

The gallery boasts a diverse collection of art, from classical pieces to contemporary works by emerging New Alexandrian artists. It hosts a rotating schedule of exhibitions, workshops, and cultural events that engage both the local community and international visitors.
