Urbis
Yes, it's another shapely deposit of glass and metal. You either love them or you hate them. Urbis is on a mission to explore the urban environment in an accessible way. That might sound a little patronising, but it works in that you don't bore here as quickly as you might at a more traditional presentation. Art, architecture and grafitti illustrate the culture and dynamics of city life. The interactive exhibits make you feel a bit like you're on a school trip but planned future events are a city beach, tai chi lessons, and flash mobbing.
