Kukje's two main gallery spaces are found off the main road, behind its restaurant building, which has the running woman sculpture by Jonathan Borofsky on its roof. It's a leading venue for international artists to exhibit, with the likes of Damien Hirst, Anish Kapoor and Bill Viola all having shows here. Admission varies.
