The idea of what a gallery or a museum should look like is different for everyone, but in its heart is always the experience it leaves behind. Ur-Mu, short for Urban Museum, takes that seriously. Spread across three branches in Bukit Bintang, Raja Chulan and Tun HS Lee, it brings curated contemporary art into the city’s living, breathing neighbourhoods. Its founder Dr Tan Loke Mun, who is also an architect, speaks to us about the thinking behind Ur-Mu’s unconventional presence in KL, and what he hopes it does for how the city and its people, relate to art.
