The Royal Parks have awarded a contract to the Serpentine Gallery to construct a new gallery in The Magazine building in Kensington Gardens. The project, which will be called the Serpentine Sackler Gallery will provide nearly 900 square meters of galleries and social space, as well as an adjoining extension containing a café/restaurant.
Due to open ahead of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the gallery will become an exciting new artistic destination for London, bringing to life the best new international talents. Like the Serpentine Gallery, it will be free of charge and available to all.
