Be wowed by world class art at Tate Modern
The beloved Tate Modern, a sizable temple to modern and contemporary art, is positioned triumphantly right on the River Thames. The gallery, which is located in the former Bankside Power Station, is a forceful declaration of modernism, architectural renovation, and accessibility. Enter the Turbine Hall through Holland Street to explore its amazing size, which once housed the power plant's energy generators but is now the location of a sizable installation of art.
The permanent collection is free, and the Blavatnik Building, the gallery's ziggurat addition that opened in 2016, offers 60% more exhibition space and a fresh, cost-free vantage point of London. With installation and performance art, exhibition spaces are also pushing the conceptual frontier.
