- Location
A modern art gallery based in London, you can find many works of art produced from 1900 to the present day. Formerly the Bankside Power Station, Tate Modern was established in 2000 to make use of the building and has become one of the largest galleries of contemporary and modern art.
As a travel group you’ll be able to attend workshops and even book a private tour. You’ll be able to explore the Tate collection and unravel artist’s ideas and processes while discovering your own inspiration. In the Turbine Hall, you can find large-scale sculptures that can only fit into a hall of this magnitude. You’ll be able to view the city skyline in the Viewing Level from a 360-degree range with the River Thames far beneath you. By visiting the Tanks, you can entertain yourself with performances, interactive art and video installations.
Right outside the museum is the bank of the River Thames and the Millennium Bridge. Crossing the bridge will bring you directly to St Paul’s Cathedral, ideal for tourists hoping to make the most of their day. Make sure to stop by and enjoy the scenery and nearby attractions.
