About
Brze činjenice: Curving white volumes and generous skylights guide visitors through unexpected sightlines, so every gallery feels like a new discovery where light and concrete play off each other. Frequent performance pieces, film screenings, and interactive projects animate the spaces, often surprising visitors who expect only traditional exhibitions.
Istaknuto: Walk through a swooping, light-filled building by architect Steven Holl, opened in 1998, where skylights and curving white walls make colors in the galleries shift from chalky pale to rich gold as the day changes. The name comes from the Greek word chiasma, meaning cross, and the floorplan literally twists galleries around a central axis so you often glimpse a different exhibition just by peeking around a corner.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries spread across several floors with ramps and staircases.
- Bring a light layer, entrance halls and outdoor areas can be chilly even on mild days.
- Photography for personal use is usually allowed without flash, but follow signage and avoid tripods or commercial shoots without permission.
- Arrive at opening or an hour before closing to avoid school groups and midday crowds, and use the cloakroom for large bags.
