When Scott asked what I wanted to do for Valentine's Day, I didn't even hesitate to answer. What could be more romantic than going to a museum!?
The Saatchi Gallery is one of the few art museums we haven't yet been to in London. There are a slew of excuses for why we haven't yet visited. First off, it used to be on the South Bank of the river, which made it more of a shlep when we still lived in Cambridge. Secondly, it used to cost an arm and a leg to go (now it's free, thanks for corporate sponsorship! Yay!). And thirdly, it's a little....strange. It's pretty much all modern, temporary exhibits. So you never know exactly what's going to be there.
But we really have no more excuses. It
moved this October to a new space in Chelsea, after a rather contentious legal battle over their former home at County Hall. Chelsea is so close that we really can't avoid it. It's free now, which is reason to rejoice in and of itself. And
the current exhibition sounds really interesting.
I can't wait to write about it after we visit!
