Environmental & Social
No environmental data about the building available online. New and large structure that uses a lot of glass (resources intensive). Helps spread the arts and exhibits up and coming artists
Conclusion
The NACT is worth a detour for contemporary architecture and art buffs. For the others, have a look if you are in the vicinity, otherwise we suggest starting with museums in the city that have a more "reliable" content.
Key positive
Stunning architecture
Some exhibitions are free
Key negative
No permanent collection to ensure a visit is worth it
Suitability
Accessible for visitors with reduced mobility. Children under 14yrs old will very likely not be interested in the content or architecture
