Barbican Art Gallery
Silk St Barbican Centre, level 3, London  EC2Y 8DS • 20-8451-216828
Description:
CITY. Although it's said to occupy one of the world's ugliest buildings, this gallery hosts a variety of exhibitions dealing with historic and modern art. At times, it has caused a stir for opening such exhibits as the "Art of Star Wars," a fun, somewhat irreverent display that looked at the art associated with the groundbreaking films. The gallery presents a wide range of exhibits that concentrate on individual artists, genres, themes and the like. Past shows have focused on Oscar Wilde and the influence of rock and roll in fashion. Ticket concessions available online. TUBE: Barbican
