Bit out of the way to get to, but can be done via public transport and some walking. Was worth the effort - 3 floors with great collections on offer. Various exhibitions on my visit including traditional, modern art and ceramics. Has a cafe and shop on site plus a research room. More

For some reason this doesn't seem to be that heavily promoted in all the tourist literature, but for us this was the highlight of our time in Kuala Lumpur. If you like contemporary art then don't miss this! It's a bit tricky to get to. You can catch a bus from town I think, but we caught the monorail to... More

I visited this gallery with my New Zealand friend recently. The building looks impressive from the outside. It was located in an area with lush surroundings. We thought it would be nice inside as well. Free entrance was a plus. The interior was airy and spacious. Our first stop was at the info counter. The staff was non-chalant and not... More
