A fun and inspiring space where artists can show off their work. No entrance fee — you’re free to wander through the exhibition areas, cafes, restaurants, and some little souvenir shops. It’s also a great spot that gives young artists and students the chance to be creative and share their talent 🙏

It’s an amazing center where you can delight your eyes with beautiful art. I was impressed by how they support young artists by showcasing their work. It was also enjoyable to find some great art items for sale. Both the shops and galleries were fantastic. I couldn't help but feel like there are more opportunities to make this place vibrant or more inviting. Little cold. Toilet were bad though. ...

This is a fine museum. It’s connected to a few malls via sky bridge. You can’t beat go shopping, eat, and see art. There are exhibits from students and professional artists. Inside the museum are stalls to purchase pieces directly from the maker, cafes, noodle shops, and smaller galleries. It’s free and a peaceful break from the heat outside.

There are some places for food and dr...
