Townhouse Gallery was set up by Lim Wei-Ling and Yohan Rajan in a townhouse in  Bukit Bandraya, Kuala Lumpur in May 2002 to showcase the works of contemporary artists in Malaysia.

The gallery represents a wide spectrum of Malaysian artists, ranging from the forefathers of Modernism in Malaysia, to young, up and coming contemporary talents. The focus of this gallery is to nurture their stable of artists, so that they gain both local and international recognition, and to educate collectors about the art they are collecting from an aesthetic and investment angle. The gallery hosts up to eight art exhibitions a year, showcasing a variety of works ranging from abstract expressionism, to multimedia.

In 2004, Townhouse Gallery opened their doors to contemporary artists from around the world, and has since hosted three foreign shows, namely a solo exhibition by the revered Cuban artist Nelson Dominguez , a solo sculpture show for the renown Pakistani sculptor Amin Gulgee, and a group show by some of India’s top artists including MF Hussain and Sunil Das. 

As the main concern is quality works that have the potential to appreciate in value over the years, the gallery is very selective about the works and artists it represents

Over the past one and a half years, the  Townhouse Gallery has worked closely with numerous corporations and organisations, who have an interest in supporting art in Malaysia.
