Ilham Gallery

Those initiated in Malaysian modern and contemporary art have visited ILHAM Gallery at least once or twice since it opened its doors in 2015. But even for those for whom art is a new experience, the gallery aims to appeal with panel discussions, performances, screenings, and even art classes for children.

Housed in a 58-story tower designed by British architecture firm Foster + Partners, the gallery exhibits and supports the work of Malaysian modern and contemporary artists within a regional and global context. Here, even the gardens feature art installations of their own: don’t miss Ai Weiwei’s first permanent public sculptural work in Southeast Asia, Divina Proportione, installed at the tree-lined plaza in front of the building, alongside Pinaree Sanpitak’s Breast Stupa Topiary. There's also a great gift shop with a small café if you need a quick pick-me-up.
