Serpentine Gallery

ArtArchitectureClosed · Opens 10amFreeLancaster Gate

La Serpentine dispose de deux espaces d'exposition à Kensington Gardens : le pavillon de thé d'origine, construit en 1934, et la Serpentine North, dessinée par Zaha Hadid. Ensemble, ils voient bien au-delà de leur taille et accueillent d'ambitieuses expositions monographiques consacrées à des artistes tels que Yayoi Kusama, Marina Abramovic ou Gerhard Richter. Chaque été, la commande du pavillon – où un grand architecte élève une structure temporaire sur la pelouse – constitue l'une des plus belles traditions culturelles de Londres.
