Asia Culture Center, a multipurpose cultural complex with a combination of tradition and modernity. It all started with the call for human rights and peace that was raised during the May 18 Democratic Movement.
The ACC was created to promote exchange, education, research and mutual understanding between Asian cultures, with its 5 divisions namely ACC Archive & Research, ACC Creation, ACC Theater, ACC Children and ACC Cultural Exchange.
Asia Plaza is an open yard with a slight slope at the centre of the Asia Culture Center. The 5,383 sqm open space is suitable to set up a large stage during festivals or to host any outdoor event, concert and multipurpose banquet, with a capacity of 2,800 people. During the day, the fountain at the plaza lets visitors reminisce about the good old days, while the LEDs create a spectacular night view of the center with the colourful lights.
ACC Archive & Research is a space for knowledge and information about Asian cultural studies in various forms including journals, forums and publications and provides opportunities for multi-layered research projects. Visitors can access the materials and contents of the Asia’s cultural resources through Library Park, a book-themed resting spot. It also hosts an exhibition on the history of ACC and offers spaces for cultural education programmes and professional training courses.
Equipped with tables and chairs, the Grand Lecture Room is ideal for seminar or conference up to 177 people, where the Conference Hall can fit in 400 people for conference, seminar or lecture. In addition, the Theater is a modern space that can accommodate up to 1,056 people for a concert.
ACC Creation is a lab-based platform for content creation and production, where creators develop convergent content combining humanities, art and advanced science, and various exhibition halls where imaginations turn into reality through exhibition content.
Here, artists are invited to collaborate and bring life to their imaginations, inspired by fresh ideas and Asian traditional values. At the rooftop of the ACC Creation building sits Hanul Madang. This park is a perfect spot to lay back on the grass and admire the stars in the sky.
