Serpentine Gallery

Venture into Hyde Park to find this leading contemporary art gallery. Spread between two buildings less than five minutes’ walk from each other, the Serpentine Gallery has been putting on thought-provoking exhibitions of new and established artists since opening in 1970. As well as organising great shows throughout the year, each summer it commissions a designer or architect to create a large pavilion to sit in its grounds and be enjoyed by the public.
