Art Exhibitions
Dotted across the city are a surprising number of state run exhibition centres and independently owned galleries. There are token admission fees at many places, except for temporary exhibitions at the major museums where you may be charged a still modeset 7,000br. If you are touring the city on foot then dropping into an exhibition you may pass is rarely a disappointing experience.
