Tate Modern
This former riverside power station is now an immensely popular museum devoted to modern and contemporary art since 1900. Major exhibitions are mixed with permanent collections featuring work by many well-known names from Monet to Pollock. The building is huge and often packed but it still delivers – it is a good idea to invest in the multimedia guides, and take advantage of late opening hours two nights a week.

Entry to the gallery is free – there’s no need to book. Booking a ticket is recommended for exhibitions but some tickets may be available at the door. Members enjoy unlimited free entry to exhibitions with no need to book. Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirror Rooms, however, still requires a free Members ticket, given the show’s special and intimate scale.
Tate Modern has over a hundred years of art, from modernism in the early 1900s, to exciting works created today. This includes paintings, sculptures, and more made by artists all over the world such as Pablo Picasso, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, and Jenny Holzer.
Experience Tate’s iconic Turbine Hall. In the Natalie Bell Building you can see how artists create new ideas. In the Blavatnik Building you can explore the underground Tanks, dedicated to performances, installations and video works.
