The connection between Exhibition Hall 9 and Exhibition Hall 8 is achieved via the gallery building. This structure primarily serves as a meeting place for trade fair visitors and the public and is designed as a sequence of three plazas: the entrance plaza, the exhibition plaza, which also serves as the central connecting space between the exhibition areas on the ground floor, and the festival plaza, intended for opening ceremonies and special communicative events. The gallery also serves as the main western entrance to the entire exhibition grounds; it is directly accessible by buses and taxis via the ramp.
