Ilham Gallery
Levels 3 and 5, Ilham Tower, 8, Lrg Binjai, Kuala Lumpur, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur
Contemporary art gallery with free admission and rotating Southeast Asian exhibitions.
This guide to Ilham Gallery in Kuala Lumpur starts in the plaza with Ai Weiwei's 2015 bronze sculptures, their proportions borrowed from a 1509 treatise illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci. It moves inside the Foster and Partners-designed Ilham Tower, where gallery director Rahel Joseph made an unusual choice on opening: no permanent collection, and free admission. Look for the mobile shipping-container gallery that carries the same idea beyond the city.
