What it is
Museum tags: Art; Contemporary art; Immersive or interactive; Modernist
A leading contemporary art gallery which hosts rotating modern art exhibitions. Has a reputation for putting on cutting-edge exhibitions, including immersive installations. Housed in the brutalist monolith of the Southbank Centre on the River Thames.
My personal take on
The Hayward Gallery’s exhibitions are always blockbuster. In my opinion, it rivals the Saatchi Gallery for large-scale, immersive and innovative contemporary art.
Where the Hayward has the edge for me is its location — right on the Southbank, just along from another of London’s modern art royalty, the Tate Modern.
It’s part of the brutalist Southbank Centre — not conventionally beautiful, but certainly a London icon.
