From acclaimed architects, to Turner Prize-winning artists, Barbican Art Gallery presents major exhibitions by leading international figures. An important gallery on the capital's art scene in its own right, it also has the benefit of being housed in the Brutalist masterpiece (or eye-sore, depending on your view) the Barbican Centre – a listed complex of galleries, cinemas, restaurants and residential properties set around a series of lakes and gardens. Accompanying each exhibition is a programme of talks and events.

The Barbican also has a free gallery, The Curve, which is home to a series of new commissions created especially for the space by contemporary artists.
