Serpentine Gallery

ArchitectureArtOpen until 6pmFreeLancaster Gate

La Serpentine gestisce due spazi espositivi a Kensington Gardens: l'originale padiglione da tè del 1934 e la Serpentine North, progettata da Zaha Hadid. Insieme, i due spazi hanno un peso culturale che va ben oltre le loro dimensioni, ospitando ambiziose mostre personali di artisti come Yayoi Kusama, Marina Abramovic e Gerhard Richter. La commissione annuale del padiglione estivo, per cui un architetto di fama internazionale realizza una struttura temporanea sul prato, è una delle grandi tradizioni culturali di Londra.
