  • Getting here

    The Annexe is situated in the building directly behind the Central Market building. Take note that the two buildings are not structurally connected. If you’re reaching us by walking through the main Central Market building, you have to come out of the back entrance to find the Annexe. Look out for Gajah-gajah Gallery that’s located on the ground floor. The Annexe Gallery (and office) is on the top floor of the Annexe, which is the 2nd floor. The Studio and Theatre are situated on the 1st floor. The mezzanine and ground floors are occupied by leased tenants.

    If you’re taking public transport, the nearest train station to Central Market is the RapidKL Pasar Seni LRT station. If you’re taking a cab, most taxi drivers will understand “Central Market” as the destination, but you will have to orientate yourself toward to the Annexe.

Marguerite Brodie of Tango Club KL informed us limited spots are still available, especially for male tango partners. :-)
