Barbican Centre

ArchitectureArtOpen until 11pmFrom £12Barbican

Το Barbican είναι η πιο ανυπολόγιστη έκφραση της μπρουταλιστικής αρχιτεκτονικής: ένα φρούριο από μπετόν που στεγάζει γκαλερί τέχνης, αίθουσες συναυτών, θέατρα, κινηματογράφους, βιβλιοθήκη και ένα τροπικό θερμοκήπιο. Η γκαλερί φιλοξενεί φιλόδοξες θεματικές εκθέσεις που εκτείνονται στην τέχνη, το design, τον κινηματογράφο και τη μουσική. Η δωρεάν γκαλερί Curve φιλοξενεί εγκαταστάσεις που αλλάζουν τακτικά. Το να χαθείς μέσα στο κτίριο είναι σχεδόν μια τελετή μύησης — ακολούθησε τις κίτρινες γραμμές στο πάτωμα.
