The Saatchi Gallery - London
Duke of York's HQ King's Road London SW3 4RY
London is packed with great museums that are free to the public. And the Saatchi Gallery is right up there as one of the places you should visit. Extraordinarily, it has been going for over 25 years and yet the place seems as innovative and as fresh as when it first opened. Tucked away off the Kings Road, just 200 yards from Sloane Square tube station, the Duke of York's HQ provides a terrific space, with light and height setting off each work of art. The objective of the gallery is to discover and to display new works so you can expect some total duds as well as some cracking stuff. Prepare to be perplexed and walk around muttering "Is this really art". The important thing about most of the exhibits is that they ask questions; the fun is in working out the answers. The Saatchi Gallery will exhibit material that intends to shock in some cases but don't let that put you off taking your children or even your maiden aunt. Along with everyone else, she might not approve of everything, but it will make the conversation interesting on the way home.
