The Tate Modern has been designed to house modern art from 1900 to today The modern glass “light beam” down the centre of the building houses a rooftop café offering superb views over London. The gallery displays major works of artists such as Dali, Picasso, and Matisse as well as more contemporary artists.
Top tip: To avoid the crowds, visit the gallery first thing in the morning during the week or take advantage of the late openings at the weekend.
Fun fact: The Tate Modern was originally built as Bankside Power Station, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, who also designed the famous red telephone box.
