Things to do in London 🇬🇧: @hayward.gallery – Yosh Things to do in London 🇬🇧: @hayward.gallery – Yoshitomo Nara Exhibition If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’m always on the lookout for thought-provoking art exhibitions—and this one’s a must visit. This weekend we went on a microadventure to Southbank Centre to see the Yoshitomo Nara retrospective at the Hayward Gallery. If you’re into contemporary art, moody characters, or quietly rebellious energy, this show is for you. With over 150 works on display, including drawings, paintings, and installations, the exhibit offers a deep dive into Nara’s world—shaped by punk rock, childhood memories, and subtle political themes. One of the highlights for me was a reconstructed wooden “shack” filled with sketches and music—it really felt like stepping inside the artist’s mind. 📍Belvedere Rd, London SE1 8XX 🚇 Closest station: Waterloo 🎟 £20 - Exhibit runs until 31 August 2025 —— Follow @itsdenisecas to find inspiration for your weekend adventures around London & learn about how I travel with a 9-5 . . . . . #YoshitomoNara #LondonExhibitions #ThingsToDoInLondon #ContemporaryArtLondon #SouthbankCentre #londonbylondoners Things to do in London.
