Barbican Centre

ArtArchitectureOpen until 11pmFrom £12Barbican

El Barbican es arquitectura brutalista sin complejos: una ciudadela de hormigón que alberga una galería de arte, salas de conciertos, teatros, cines, una biblioteca y un invernadero tropical. La galería presenta ambiciosas exposiciones temáticas que abarcan arte, diseño, cine y música. La galería gratuita The Curve acoge instalaciones que cambian con regularidad. Perderse en el edificio es prácticamente un rito de iniciación: basta con seguir las líneas amarillas del suelo.
