My personal take on Barbican Art Gallery
It’s always worth seeing what’s on at the Barbican Art Gallery. Usually focused on modern art, I’ve always found their exhibitions thought-provoking and engaging.
And apart from anything else, it’s worth seeing the Barbican site itself, if you’ve never been. A Cathedral to Brutalism, it’s one of London’s most interesting building complexes.
