Art galleries exhibition spaces foundations and cultural centers Kuala Lumpur

Galerie Ilham is one of the capital's most renowned art institutions in terms of modern and contemporary art, and offers a great opportunity to discover both local and international artists. The programming is of undeniable originality and quality, not hesitating to venture into Malaysia's sometimes thorny social issues - a much-needed breath of freedom. Located in an ultra-modern tower, the space is very pleasant and also boasts an arts and crafts boutique with a fine selection of objects.

Nestled in Lorong Ampang, this art space consists of two beautiful buildings in contrasting styles: the main hall, a century-old red-brick gudang (warehouse) that gained a sulphurous reputation in the 1980s and 1990s as a nightclub, and a more modern, tree-lined, semi-open building that will delight architecture enthusiasts. The program is diverse and original, with a particular focus on contemporary art and architecture, including exhibitions, performances, workshops and more.
