It was decent... Nothing crazy like I was expecting. The waiting times are a bit long. They allow you to take photos but without flash. And overall was a good experience

Love this modern building. It’s next to the element hotel. Upon entrance, the lift is on your left (it’s a bit hidden) but just turn left and you’ll find it! Enjoy both level 3 and 4 and take some cute pictures with your date.

Entry is free and the gallery is very accessible as it's only a few mins walk from Ampang Park LRT station. Really enjoyed the latest exhibit at the main gallery. The staff there are pretty strict about visitors not touching any of the artwork, which is good. They'll come up to you so fast and tell you off there and then. There was another exhibit at another level which I didn't get to finish as I only went during my long Friday lunch break. Will definitely revisit to finish viewing that interesting 555 exhibit.

The most important point of this gallery is that admission is completely free, but the downside is that parking is on the expensive side (RM5 per hour) 📝 Almost once a month or every quarter, there will be a new theme in this gallery. Therefore, I would suggest you all check out their website or Instagram before visiting here, or else you might waste your time all the way here as the gallary will permanently close. Please visit the gift shop, which is opposite the Illham Gallary. Thgiftf shop selling a lot of unique local artist gifts and there is a small class too (support local artist) ⭐ Located very near to LRT Ampang Park and MRT Persiaran KLCC which is just 5 minutes walk from the stations 👍🏽

Nice gallery on the 5th floor of IIham Tower. The gallery is not big and they hold different exhibitions all year round. The gallery is well maintained and after you visit the gallery,if you would like to get some souvenirs,there is a gift shop on another side. Location : Just 5 mins walk from Ampang Park station. Entrance fee: Free

We, the Malaysians, demand a good contemporary art culture. We are so so behind as compared to neighboring Singapore or even Indonesia. Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, and China had reached the international standard. We need to educate and expose the young generation about why Art is so important in human existence, not just Art as a good blue chip investment but to display in your living spaces or inspire oneself. Yes, we do have National Art Museum but that hideous location is just not accessible in terms of getting there. The art scene in Malaysia was minuscule like a fly flew by and misses. Even our yearly Art expo isn't to a level that tourist needs to flock over to witness or buy. Malaysian artists are creative and need proper exposure to go mainstream for an international collector. Ilham Gallery is one of the legit art galleries, the top in Malaysia in terms of location, architecture surroundings, space, and of course yearly exhibition plus recently the frequent art bazaar event "Atas but not Atas" (Lots of people). (Really love the title because of the duo meaning as it is expensive but not upstairs but located ground floor and has reasonable local art craft) And the December exhibition 2022 exposes some sexual elements which usually this kind of topic will completely ban in an Islamic country. Not Ilham Gallery. Art is life, part of human existence, journey, and experiences. There is a gift shop on the gallery floor. Get yourself some art culture. Kelana Jaya LRT line and stop at station Ampang Park and walk to Gallery around 10 minutes reach. Parking is a little tricky around that area. I'm not sure what the best place to park your car.

this is the best gift shop in KL. I like the hand craft goods. better than central market cheap ones... unique and craftmanship. staff is nice.

Located at L5 of Ilham Tower, the gallery is quite compact showcasing artworks by artists mostly from the ASEAN region. According to one of the crews, a particular theme for the exhibition roughly lasts for around 6 months before changing to a different theme. During my visit, the primary theme was surrealism which happen until May 2023. The arts that were on display were pretty cool. Some are surprisingly dark and quite gory for casual visitors as it can includes disturbing imagery. There is a curated collection that is so explicit (containing nudity) which is separated in a dedicated closed space with even stricter discretion like no photography and minimum age of 18. Quite a mini culture shock for me personally 😅 but undoubtedly an experience that will leave me with a lasting impression. • Various forms of art on display (paintings, sketches, photographs, objects and videos) • Free entrance. The crews in charge are quite helpful and one of them is good at explaining to me about the exhibition briefly • The Ilham Tower is a gorgeous structure by itself. Designed by the famed Fosters + Partners architecture firm, the tower measuring at 274 meters has distinctive slanted steel design • Located very near to LRT Ampang Park underground metro station (less than 5 min walk) • There is a gift shop which is located at the opposite wing of gallery tower selling various merchandises

Don't think twice about coming here, truly a pleasure to appreciate the various works of different styles by the artists! Definitely coming back, I could spend hours here. You can take some nice photos here too. The gift shop is also another place to visit, lots of handcrafted items, postcards, stickers, mugs made by local artists. (Support your local artists!) Loved it!

Entrance is free Art exhibition at Ilham Gallery. Please note that the main gallery is closed, will reopen on 18 July 2023. Only a small exhibition Lift The Tikar until 16 July 2023 and Gift Shop gallery is open currently. I enjoy sitting down on the tikar watching the video of Tikar Reben and Pangkis dance performance on the screen. Will come again to visit the main gallery!

had a great experience here. just 2 minutes walk from MRT Ampang Park. no entrance fee unless stated. can visit their websites for events, exhibitions, etc.

Ilham always high quality curated exhibition and artist talk or book launch. It's a very significant landmark in contemporary art scenes in Malaysia. Make sure you visit the souvenir shop too for local designer's works and publication.

Free admission to the gallery located on the fifth floor. The highlight is definitely the gift shop - they sell very interesting merchandise and there's a quaint cafe too.

Friendly and informative staff! Went on a weekday during the afternoon, the entire place was so serene and wonderful to enjoy with good company. Splendid experience with good environment & amenities. Keep up the good work 💯

I'm not artistic person, but it is a nice place to chill out and can try to understand the drawings from the arts perspective. It also has a gift shop that has various authentic souvenirs for you to buy. Sometimes, it will hold some art exhibition and events there.

Free entrance until end of 2023, reachable via Mrt Ampang Park, use exit B and cross the road via underground lrt ampang park

Nice place, very clean and pretty. All art lovers should definitely come here often. Have a very nice gift shop here too

went there before lunch time and no queue at all. only few people inside. it's quite quiet inside. not so big but they managed to make it looks big. i went there during kok yuew puah exhibition and it was amazing. it's free at that time to come in. i parked at the linc and walked to ilham building. not hard to find. they have souvenir shop that sells a lot of local made things. worth to go and explore there as well

Near LRT Ampang Park, the gallery located at the 5th floor where you can find the gift shop at the opposite direction. Since the art show is a curated series, personally for me this time it's a decent collection. Like most galleries, you can photograph the art piece without flash. So are interactive so you can touch but most of the arts are forbidden to be touched.

Very cozy gallery selling local touristy merchandise and books. There are a few table and chairs for patron to sit while enjoying some drinks.

I dunno who is the architect and designer and deserves a kick between the legs for the design and the narrow corridors. But smack in the center of the city. The Ilham Gift shop is a different story. All things are ridiculously priced and not worth it. There is a booth in the shop where kids or adults can make their own post cards with wishes, not a great activity as it is with ink stamps, but a nice pass time for my kids.

Ilham galllery - my go to KL spot for a bit of culture. Showcasing local artists, this time is Kok Yew Puah. Great stuff - great colours. Thanks Ilham gallery! I really do wish there were more public spaces like this to visit in KL.

Free! Just gotta pay for parking. I believe they have rotating exhibits? When I went for it was focused on the history of photography, specifically asian / Malaysian photographers and their subjects over time. From the older photos looks like they featured different stuff before. My favorite part was actually the gift shop, which sells a bunch of cute or funny items - souvenirs, trinkets, and whatnot.

There are few rules need to be followed as soon you enter the gallery. No food, no drinks, do not touch the art, mask on all the time, no flash. I am no one to judge the art but i love all the art there, good job to all the artist 👍🏻👍🏻

Chill and relax art gallery. No entrance fees are required. Amazed to see different forms of art that were on display inside. The very first section (5th floor) was of paintings where there were paintings by different painters. One of the painting that inspire from "Batik + Trees" is definitely surprised me with the quality art. The 3rd floor is themed "Enqirue de Malacca" describing the history of Melaka. You'll get to see different traditional tools, historical memorial quotes from different great person. Just that this floor is extremely small to walk. Overall satisfy~ Hope that Malaysia can have more of this art exhibition that suitable for amateur public to walk around.

Just a few minute walk from lrt ampang park. A good place to hang out with friends, taking pictures is allowed. entry is free. gift shop is filled with amazing artsy goodies and prices are ranging from affordable to expensive.

The photography exhibition was so nostalgic. Everyone should go. The photos really capture the growing up of our nation. Not to mention reminders of the good old days when nobody even thought of asking what race you were. We were all friends.

Ilham graciously received our school with a group tour. The guide was informative and answered all our questions, from about what it takes to run an art gallery, to how many changes in a year, to challenges of getting the pieces, insurance, mission and objectives and other hard questions. I'm very impressed to the video show this time, and was pleasantly surprised with the goodies from the Gift Shop. We will come again!

Ilham Gallery at No8 Jalan Binjai. Located at Level 5, excellent place for local artist. Also activities for kids between 6 - 12 years old. Exposure for them to express their creativity and having a bonding time with their oarents. Great place to visit. Perfect with gift shop where u can have a coffee, tea or souvenire. Well maintanance too. Btw, taking picture inside the exibition area is not allowed..

good place for art exhibition. nearby linc kl. got cafe at fifth floor.

We enjoyed our experience here. We were so impressed with the tikar exhibition and the way the gallery is set up. P/s - entrance is free 😉

(Translated by Google) If you are interested in art, we recommend visiting the Elham Gallery (Original) إن كنت ممن يهتمون بالفن بنصح بزيارة معرض الهام

Went to dream of the day & lift the tikar! exhibitions on Saturday. Quite a crowd there. Very friendly staffs and the building is very clean and new. Had the privilege of hearing Yee I-Lann explaining her work irl which was the highlight of my experience there. They have cool things in the gift shop too.

Very nice place with great exhibition. The toilet felt like at 5 star hotel. Nice staff also .

Beautiful place! Love it!

Lovely small gallery with a spacious interesting gallery space and lovely shop.

My favorite place. I never missed to visit it every year. The staff are also very friendly, cool, nice and helpful.

I really love the exhibition!!

Ahmazing arts gallery and I love it so much

Amazing gallery. A good spot to escape the afternoon heat and enjoy art.

Nothing worthwhile. Just some old pictures and other insignificant stuff.

Attending an exhibiton by the late Kok Yew Puah.interesting.but personal opinion the exhibition area scale too small..

Love the gallery , very calming ,everything there are very artistic including the lift as well😂👌

So nice art gallery. But the entrance was hard to find. And Beam can’t stop in front of this building. Stop at near train station.

This one was Ilham Gift Shop. Everything was so kiuttt and the price was affordable. keep it maintain please. All place nice to take picture. love it so much

I thought the exhibition will be bigger but it's alright. Could see a sort of different medium of artwork which is what that interest me. There was quite a line during the weekend, not sure about weekdays. It was a 30mins wait time but since it was free of charge we didn't mind the wait. The gift shop had lots of cute stuff, do check that out if u like journaling and stuff like that.

Ilham Gallery Art is subjective, you may like it or you don’t. 8/10 experience for me. I sure hope you enjoy the time at ilham gallery, they have free entrances, surrounding the area has very beautiful outdoor building aesthetics A great place a for a date if you both enjoy art. Just a great place to hang around sharing ideas and discussing about art pieces and how you think about them. Absolutely had a ton of fun during my visit Parking: You can park at the basement on the same building. Yours truly, ig @choubyeats

Best gallery in town? And that's despite the limited size / space! Lovely stuff. And there's a cute gift shop with decent coffee too. Can't ask for much more. More reviews on IG @foodgazerrr

We came here on a Saturday afternoon with a group of four people to see the art gallery. Unfortunately, the main gallery was closed due to maintenance and there was only free access to the third floor exhibition, which is not more than two rooms. We were done in less than 10 minutes. We may come again on another day to see the main gallery, but today we were a bit unlucky.

Free art gallery featuring some pretty interesting and thought provoking exhibitions. Wonder what they're gonna exhibit next. There's also a very cute gift shop featuring local gifts, accessories and nick nacks. The shop also has a cafe. Parking after 5pm is flat rate if not mistaken.

ILHAM Gallery is a public art gallery committed to supporting the development, understanding, and enjoyment of Malaysian modern and contemporary art within a regional and global context. This is a nice place with great exhibition.

Amazing gallery

A quite place- "Excuse me, please don't touch the art"

Love that art exhibitions are free!

(Translated by Google) There is also an exhibition hall in the office space on the third floor. The main exhibition hall and gift shop on the 5th floor is also on the 5th floor. A must visit if you are traveling in Kuala Lumpur. 5 minutes walk to klcc. (Original) 3층 사무실 공간에도 전시장 있음. 5층 메인 전시장과 기프트샵도 5층에 있음. 쿠알라룸푸르 여행중이라면 꼭 방문해볼것. klcc와 도보 5분거리임.

Quite dull

If you're into art (especially contemporary art), this place is worth a visit if you're in the KLCC area. The artwork is super diverse accompanied with engaging description. lham gallery is an amazing space coupled with one of the best souvenir shops in KL.

Free entrance and it has 2 floors of exhibitions. Loved the space!

ive spent some time here always to look at these beautiful pieces

(Translated by Google) Very nice (Original) Bagus

There is illham galleries which display modern contemporary Asian art

Quite yet soothing. Good place to escape from the noisy city life.

very nice place to appreciate arts

Productnya buagus2...

Hmm it was okay, some cute arts i liked it

It's a really nice, free gallery with interesting exhibits of Malaysian talent. The coffee shop is also lovely on the top floor.

beautiful design.. unique .. 👍

I like the ambiance and it was a nice gallery. The gallery is situated right next to the lrt ampang parj which makes it easy to reach

Be careful! The gallery is very lovely but whilst in the driveway of the building my backpack was snatched by a person on a motorbike. The security was kind after, but obviously not helpful to prevent the robbery. Besides that we thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits. The works are very well curated and represented a diverse array of artists from SEA.

Wonderful gallery which houses some great artwork. Also attended a small music session here, which was quite nice and intimate. Love this place and will return again and again for its great ambiance. The souvenir shop is also well-stocked and houses a cute little cafe which serves pretty good beverages. Keep up the good work in promoting art and culture!

Lovely place! Went there in Nov 2019 Loved the artworks ♥️ the gift store sells pretty things too!

Pretty neat space. Small but well managed. Also, free of admission! When I was there, the venue also hosted a theme 'We could have been young', displaying some series photographs that I found very intriguing. There was also a talk with the photographers, which I think pretty interesting. Some decent space to sit on the 3rd floor, also check out decent cafe and souvenirs shop on the upper floor. Staff are also friendly, including the security guards. Well done Ilham.

Well curated private gallery, with a gift shop that carries interesting local art n crafts. Was there for The children's program- definitely will return for more

Awesome gallery! A must visit if you are in KL

Nice ambience

Imagine walking into an oasis of art which some would like to call deviant such as those made by Pangrop Sulap and by famous Malaysian and South East Asian artists with a small gift shop and coffee shop after walking among the tall buildings always dwarfed by the Petronas Twin Towers. That is Ilham Gallery which leaned itself to the Element Hotel by Westin. Hidden and is a place with many forums every Saturday. An oasis and a perfect art gallery for Malaysians and all.

A best keep secret in Kuala Lumpur.

A small gallery but they hold quite good exhibitions. Loved their little gift shop just outside. A lot of things would make great mementos and souvenirs of KL.

Its free and you can enjoy the arts peacefully here.

(Translated by Google) Very nice gallery. An interesting gift shop. Pleasant staff (Original) Дуже приємна галерея. Цікавий магазин сувенірів. Приємний персонал

Interesting gallery housed in an ultra modern building. A must visit for any art lover.

This gallery houses a lot of great arts. KL is seriously lacking in art galleries.

Very few things to looo at. Need to improve for outsiders and make their visit worthy.

Easy to get to and always lots of great programming to complement the exhibits.

I like the ambiance and it was a nice gallery. The gallery is situated right next to the lrt

love it ,. artwork is the best

A wonderful collection of beautifully curated pieces by Malaysian artists.

Love this place! Free admission, good art display

Nice gallery with good ambience ??

If not shopping malls then this is the better alternative to be stimulated and enriched

A very convenient place, peaceful and quiet from all the hustle and bustle of the city.

They have lovely gallery that suitable for function!

Very nice gallery to visit

Brought students of architecture from UM to visit the Norman Foster building. Great experience. Though a little bothered by the inefficient columns and core design..

I’ve been here three times for three different exhibits and each time they don’t disappoint. It’s free and you can learn a lot!
