Gallery tips for Yangon

How the regulars do Yangon's galleries:

• Check the gift shop at New Treasure. Prints, artist books, and the occasional affordable original. The gift shop funds the programming.
• Look at the building too at Photo Gallery. Galleries often live in the most interesting architecture in town — converted warehouses, old banks, heritage houses.
• Check for late openings. Some galleries open late one evening a week. After-work art is an underrated pleasure.
• Small galleries take risks. Artist-run spaces show the work the big institutions won't. Some of it's baffling; some of it's the future.
