KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 (Bernama) -- Galeri PETRONAS opens its exhibition calendar for 2019 with ‘Aura - Refleksi Koleksi Seni’ (Aura – Art Collection Reflection) featuring artworks from the PETRONAS art collection.
 
The exhibition showcases more than 30 artworks from the PETRONAS Art Collection (PAC), highlighting PETRONAS’ contributions in community well-being, education and environment, since the Company’s inception 45 years ago.
