Wikipedia has an article about the Serpentine Galleries and tells us:

"In 2013 the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, with an extension designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, was opened to the public, giving new life to The Magazine, a Grade II* listed former gunpowder store built in 1805. Located five minutes' walk from the Serpentine Gallery across the Serpentine Bridge, it comprises 900 square metres of gallery space, restaurant, shop and social space. The Magazine Restaurant adjoins the gallery space.

At a preview of her show at the Serpentine Gallery, Hito Steyerl spoke out against the Gallery's funding by the Sackler family, members of which own Purdue Pharma which is behind the painkiller OxyContin. The Gallery subsequently put out a statement that concluded:

“Donations to the Serpentine from the Sackler Trust are historic and we have no future plans to accept funding from the Sacklers.”"
