NGC 5383 is a barred galaxy of type (R′)SB(rs)b: pec with well developed dust lanes which provide valuable information about the dynamics of the galaxy. It is well known that dust lanes in barred spiral galaxies represent the loci of shock fronts which are caused by the gas inflow driven by bar potential (Athanassoula 1992). However, detailed morphology of dust lanes depends on the distribution of masses in bulge, disk, and bar as well as bar pattern speed. We conducted a UBVRI and Hα surface photometry and SPH simulations for NGC 5383 to investigate the relation between the morphology of dust lanes and the dynamical properties of barred galaxies.
