Founded in 1968 and housed in the striking, Brutalist surroundings of the Southbank Centre, The Hayward Gallery has for over 40 years been an independent, pioneering and influential force in the visual arts both nationally and internationally.

Notable recent exhibitions have included the humorous work of David Shrigley, the interactive, immersive sculptures of Erneso Neto and the varied output of Turner Prize-winner Jeremy Deller.
