If you're a fan of modern art, this is a must-see. I believe the gallery comprises of stuff within Charles Saatchi's private collection. Some of it can be quite hard to grasp (but such is the way with modern art), but I'm a big fan of weird art that makes you think.



I think most of the exhibition changes every 6 months or so - last time I was there they were showing a collection by British artists, although I'm not sure if that's still showing.



They have a permanent exhibition space on the ground floor that is filled with petrol with you can walk into via an extendable platform, creating an eerie space that reflects everything above it. It's kind of difficult to work out what you're looking at - whether it's petrol or a mirror, or whether there's really even a reflection there. It's all quite weird.



Go there, if you can appreciate the weird and wonderful.
