- History forged in industry: Tate Modern’s story begins not with art but with electricity. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect behind the iconic red telephone box, designed the Bankside Power Station, which powered London for much of the 20th century. Learn how the power station fell into disuse, leaving behind a space that would later be transformed into an art gallery.
- A powerhouse of contemporary art: Tate Modern is more than a gallery; it houses the United Kingdom's national collection of international modern and contemporary art, showcasing works from 1900 to the present day, including masterpieces by Picasso, Warhol, and Dalí.
- Space for exploration and discovery: Beyond its permanent exhibitions, Tate Modern's galleries offer exhibitions and displays showcasing the evolution of modern and contemporary art across various movements and mediums, perfect for both seasoned art aficionados and newcomers.
- Cultural hub on the Thames: Situated in the Bankside area, it's a stone's throw from other cultural attractions like Shakespeare's Globe and the Borough Market. The gallery also offers stunning city views, with its iconic chimney and glass extension contrasting the surrounding cityscape.
