Barbican Center

About

When the faint light of the sculptural works placed in the ground hall brushes past beneath one's feet, a sensation sweeps through as if past and present intersect. This is a place where the sound of the London Symphony Orchestra fills the air, a space where the stillness of ancient Egyptian artifacts coexists with the rhythm of contemporary music. Light hanging from the ceiling flows gently over the masterpieces of Impressionism on the walls, and each exhibition room holds its own distinct atmosphere, like a poem. Here, where music and art, theater and film organically blend within a single space, is a cradle of culture that makes one lose the sense of time passing. Visitors often experience a mysterious moment in which the movement from one scene to another unfolds naturally, and various art forms breathe together.
