This was the weirdest gallery experience of my life... We happened to turn up while a couple of floors were closed for the installation of new exhibitions and the place was empty, but two exhibitions were still on so we gave it a go. The Kinshasa one is great - definitely worth a visit with some really detailed pieces that were worth examining for ages, and a lot of artists exploring history and visions for the future in a wide range of media. The other exhibition was... Odd. The gallery doesn't seem to go in for explanations - so it was just big rooms full of pieces with no explanation and no context. Random things around the spaces and no directions as to where to go (we walked into a number of random dead ends). It felt like accidentally ending up behind the scenes at an abandoned museum. If you like the idea of a slightly disconcerting experience have a visit - otherwise you might want to make sure the other main galleries are open before visiting.
