Barbican Art Gallery offers a wide variety of exhibitions all year round, several of which are free to enter. They also host music and theatre performances. Please check for details regarding admission fees for entry into some exhibitions.
Along with the national theatre & south bank centre, this is one of the best and most beautiful arts complexes in London. I long to live there, and have spent many a long hour following the yellow line to the centre and sitting in the paradise of a water park.
Recently, I saw Joanna Newsom play here and it was one of the most beautiful and startling concerts I have ever been to. She's got such power in her voice! Sorry, this is supposed to be about The Barbican...
I've had a few good meals here - the balcony bistro is very good, but as with all arts centres, quite expensive. The food was gorgeous though, and there was a good selection of wines.
Forthcoming events include Complicite's new devised piece of theatre in September, which I reckon will be one of the most astonishing things that'll ever grace a stage. Definitely something to look forward to.
There's a Cinema, amazing Library (massive number of CDs and music scores), exhibitions and a tropical garden. oh and a drawbridge.
A wonderful, magical place. If i'm going there, I know i'm going to come back over-excited about what the human race is capable of.
