If you are hard-coding your navigation menu in WordPress rather than using wp_list_pages() template tag, you will need to add a class manually in order to highlight the current page it is on.
<li<?php if (is_page('gallery')) : echo ' class="current_page_item"'; endif; ?>><a href="gallery/">Gallery</a></li>
Note: wp_list_pages() template tag automatically add current_page_item class to the <li> element for the currently viewed page.
