The exterior, book store and cafe are free to visit. You only need tickets for seeing the exhibition spaces. Would suggest taking some time to walk around the building as well, since it’s just as (if not more) beautiful outside. They have a really good collection of books and other trinkets at the book store, focusing mainly on architecture since it’s a Zaha Hadid building. If you do stop by the c...

It was not worth all the public transport we had to take. Having said that the football/soccer exhibition was really cool! It was fascinating to look at the architectural dimension of the sport through the various designs of stadiums. Also, there is a Good affordable cafeteria!

I enjoyed strolling through the spacious Zaha Hadid-designed building, admiring the contemporary art. I particularly enjoyed the "Stadiums" exhibition, even though I'm not a football fan - it's an in-depth look at stadium architecture and the passion for football. The staff was very friendly. Worth it!
