From Silver Screens to Story Pages: A Cinematic Maze for Book Lovers at REXKL

#summervacay #june2025 #jalanjalankl Tucked within the bones of the legendary Rex Cinema in downtown Kuala Lumpur, BookXcess REXKL is a cinematic transformation from reel to read. Once a buzzing movie house, this restored landmark is now a labyrinthine paradise of books, blending retro nostalgia with modern creative energy. As you step inside, the space hums with ambient cinema-inspired music, setting the mood for literary exploration. The layout is anything but conventional—maze-like aisles twist through towering bookshelves, each turn revealing cozy nooks, statement installations, and unexpected corners perfect for quiet browsing… or Insta-worthy photos. What makes this place unique is not just the selection of affordable English titles across all genres—but the architecture itself. Exposed beams, industrial walls, and artistic lighting pay homage to the building’s past while reinventing it for a new generation of culture lovers. 📸 Tip: Visit during off-peak hours to truly enjoy the photo spots without the crowd. Look out for the art displays and installations that change periodically.
