Traveler reviews
Oliver Meskawi
★★★★★9 months agoThe Lin Tianmiao exhibition was amazing! The space itself is very as well with a nice rooftop terrace offering panoramic views of the city.

★★★★★Edited a year agoWe get there by ride hailing app as it seems the easiest way. On our day of visit on Saturday morning there is few visitor so it's a pleasant experience. The temp exhibition of Chanel is well curated, also enhanced by the space designer Diller Scorfidio. Overall maybe the exhibition spaces are just too big so some space are not filled with exhibition and looked rather odd but overall we spend a good time there
