Where art thou: Charles Saatchi's controversial Saatchi Gallery, which introduced the world to Damien Hirst's pickled shark, Tracey Emin's soiled bed and Rachel Whiteread's inside-out house, is moving from its middle-of-nowhere North London venue to a new, 30,000-sq-ft home in the burgeoning South Bank area. Opening mid-April in County Hall, where the Dali Universe permanent exhibition is located, and a stroll away from the Tate Modern, the new gallery will confirm the area as one of Europe's main centres of modern art. It will house the advertising guru's impressive art collection bought over the past 15 years as well as exhibit other collections. Visit
