Serpentine Gallery

The Serpentine Gallery is located in the beautiful Kensington Gardens in central London. Established in 1970, the gallery has expanded in recent years to include the new Serpentine Sackler Gallery. The Serpentine Sackler Gallery was opened in 2013 and is housed within a grade II listed building that used to be a gunpowder store. The new addition is just a five-minute walk from the original gallery.

For over 40 years, the Serpentine Gallery has showcased both upcoming talent and world-renowned names in art, architecture and design. The galleries feature thought-provoking exhibitions in both modern and contemporary styles, with the original Serpentine having featured over 1,600 artists’ works. Every summer, the Serpentine Gallery commissions an architect to design their summer pavilion, which is created and used to hold a programme of public events.
