To many, this exhibition museum looks like something completely out of fiction, with each shape of the walls being completely symmetrical, it feel like walking into a space ship. Even the doors are slanted and curved when they open for visitors.

The art that’s gifted
What stands out amongst many things both outside an in are the art and sculptures that look as if they were left behind from past exhibitions. In fact, much of them were provided as gifts to the museum for remembrance of the past artist exhibitions having been hosted there.

Wonders of the DDP at night
If you happen to be there at 7:00PM, the LED lights contained within the aluminum panels of the building shine with various colors radiating outward to show the futuristic exterior of the building. The ground lights up with multicolored diamond-shaped lights making the paths in a creative way that reflect onto the building itself, underneath it’s tunnels and outward exterior. There’s also a magically unique LED rose garden that is around the main paths of greenery by the building.
