Gallery: Tate Modern

Tate Modern

Tate Modern is amongst the most prestigious arts venues for corporate entertaining offering versatile event spaces with stunning panoramas across London.

the Tate Modern, Britain’s national museum of Modern Art ,It's face staring blankly across the Thames at St Pauls Cathedral via the Millennium Bridge.
it is hard not to be impressed by the buildings scale and utilitarian appearance.

Since its opening - on time and within budget - in May 2000, Tate Modern has proved to be the very model of a Millennium project. Nearly 16 million people have flocked to see it since it opened, it outperformed the supposedly populist Dome, survived a fly-on-the-wall documentary - even the wobbly Millennium bridge fiasco failed to detract from Tate Modern's triumphant arrival onto London's cultural scene.

At some 500ft long and I 15ft high, this is the centrepiece of the building and the setting for scries of specially-commissioned sculptures. Size does matters here and its fascinating to see how contemporary artists tackle this vast space -Louise Bourgeois's oversized 'spider', Anish Kapoor's 'hearing trumpet' .ind Olafur Eliasson's strangely mesmeric 'Weather Project' have been some of the responses so far.

Tate Modern has become home to the national collection of international 20th century art as well as a venue for new art. Reflecting this spirit of change, its permanent collection displays are thematic rather than chronological and are based on the four major art genres.

The Tate Modern houses works by some of the most influential and famous artists of the modern age. Displays are changed regularly, making life interesting for the regular visitor but rather more difficult for the guidebook compiler.
Expect a challenging mix of big hitters like Picasso, Matisse, Dali, Bacon, Leger, Beuys, Dubuflet, Giacometti, Pollock and Warhol as well as more recent stars such as Sam Taylor Wood, Tony Cragg and Steve McQueen.

Special exhibitions and displays are held in the galleries on level 4 and recent shows have included Constantin Brancusi and Donald Judd.

Entry to the Tate Modern is free, though there are few attractions anywhere in the world as worthy of a donation as this.
A new Tate to Tate boat service runs from the Tate Britain, past the London Eye to the Tate Modern and is an excellent day trip for those seeking a cultural feast.
