A must-see museum in London for its contemporary art collections, exhibitions and views of the City from the 10th floor!
The Tate Modern is a must-see in London, whether you go for the permanent contemporary art collections or for the always exciting temporary exhibitions. Located on the right bank of the River Thames in the Southwark district of London, Tate Modern's collection of modern British and international art continues to grow and develop, comprising over 70,000 works. Tate Modern's permanent collections are not organized chronologically, but rather thematically and pedagogically, focusing on colors, emotions and more. The greatest names of the 20th century are represented: Picasso, Braque, Dali, Miro, Beuys, Pollock, Bacon... All the major movements are also present: minimalism, surrealism, support/surface... If you don't know where to start, free guided tours are organized daily. The collections are housed in a former Bankside power station rehabilitated by architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, and opened in 2000. You enter the museum through a huge hall, the former turbine hall. Impressive! This is the most visited museum of modern art in the world.
From October 5, 2023 to February 25, 2024, the Tate Modern will present a temporary exhibition dedicated to the American painter Philip Guston, one of the most famous artists of abstract expressionism.
From November 8, 2023 to April 7, 2024, an exhibition entitled "Art, Activism and the Women's Movement in the UK 1970-1990".
