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 collections of contemporary art or for the always exciting temporary exhibitions. The museum, located on the right bank of the River Thames in the Southwark district, boasts an ever-expanding collection of modern British and international art, 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, Dalí, Miró, 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.
Eclectic exhibitions every year featuring the world's greatest artists. From September 2025, an exhibition on Picasso is organized in honor of the 100th anniversary of the painting The Three Dancers, with 50 works by the artist and live performances.
From the 10th-floor café, a magnificent panoramic view through the bay windows.
