Tate Modern

Tate Modern. This is London’s new National Gallery of Modern Art. It opened on 1st May 2000 and was the former home of the bankside Power Station which was completely refurbished. It was a very striking and distinguished building in its own right, by the architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. It offered all the space that was required. Not least, it was in an amazing location on the south bank of the River Thames opposite St Paul's Cathedral and the City of London. The Tate Collection is on display on levels three and five of the building, while level four houses large temporary exhibitions and a small exhibition space on level 2 houses work by contemporary artists.
