About Serpentine Galleries

The Serpentine is made up of two contemporary art galleries in Kensington Gardens, Westminster, now branded as Serpentine South and Serpentine North. The two spaces are within five minutes' walk of each other, linked by the bridge over the Serpentine Lake, which gives the galleries their name.

Its exhibitions, architecture, education work and public programmes attract up to 1.2 million visitors a year, and entry to both galleries is free, so it is easy to drop in while walking in the park. The organisation is led by chief executive Bettina Korek, with Hans Ulrich Obrist as artistic director.
