"The Serpentine Galleries are a must-see for contemporary art lovers. Located in a former teahouse, the original Serpentine Gallery continues to champion cutting-edge modern art, and if you walk across Serpentine Lake, the collection extends to the new Sackler Gallery, which was designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Zaha Hadid. Take the time to explore the grounds, including the Gallery’s Pavilion, which provides a site for architectural experimentation with temporary structures that is always worth checking out. "

A nice gallery in the heart of the park! I had an opportunity to see the Suspended States gallery. All sections were incredible! The sanctuary city was quite interesting with the attention to details of each building! The war library presentation was also fascinating. The book store also had a great selection of books both old and new from various categories.

After visiting the north wing, can take a few minutes walk to come to this one. A small gallery same as the north side, so would be good to visit all in one-go. Free entry but all the display are well maintained, the message expressed by Yinka has been inspiring. Outside has some facilities for kids to play, have many chairs for people to take rest also, very good design for tourists/visitors.

It was great to see the latest Serpentine pavilion, designed by Minsuk Cho (born 1966), Mass Studies. Also, don't miss the sculpture designed by Gerhard Richter (born 1932) and the extension of the Serpentine North Gallery designed by the late Zaha Hadid (1950-2016).

Impressive art work celebrating black Africans but not that much to see. Still worth going.

We went to see Barbara Kruger exhibition on a week day. The entrance is free, although you should book a ticket, we didn't but there was no queue and we entered straight away. Lovely gallery in the heart of Hyde Park.
