The Barbican Arts Centre is an arts venue in the centre of the Barbican Estate in the City of London, UK.

It opened in 1982, after a long and at times painful gestation which dated right back to the area having been badly bombed during World War II. It is owned, funded and managed by the City of London, the third largest funder of the arts in the UK. It was built as 'the City's gift to the nation' at an historical capital cost of £161 million, equivalent to almost £400 million today.
