Das Barbican ist brutalistische Architektur in ihrer kompromisslosesten Form: eine Zitadelle aus Beton, die eine Kunstgalerie, Konzertsäle, Theater, Kinos, eine Bibliothek und einen tropischen Wintergarten beherbergt. Die Galerie zeigt anspruchsvolle thematische Ausstellungen, die Kunst, Design, Film und Musik miteinander verbinden. Die kostenlose Curve gallery präsentiert wechselnde Installationen. Sich in dem Gebäude zu verirren, gehört praktisch zum Ritual – folgen Sie einfach den gelben Linien auf dem Boden.
