ooooh! modern art! an amazing sight on top of the harry potter bridge. at first glance i thought it was some kind of factory.
inside wise. you're not allowed to take pictures. i did anyways.... with my iphone! woooohooo! warhol!
//The history of modern art started with Impressionism. It all began in Paris as a reaction to a very formal and rigid style of painting - done inside studios and set by traditional institutions like the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Paris//
when people first saw picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" people's reaction was "what the hell is that? that's not art." maybe....one could argue that modern art is a reaction to a a system that establish specific order and rules.
so i took pictures with my iphone. wooot!
As an alternative to the usual suspects found in commercial art spaces on 14th through the16th of May 2010,Tate Modern hosted No Soul For Sale - A Festival of Independents. http://www.nosoulforsa....
The event was part of Tate Modern's 10th anniversary celebration and The festival brought to the Turbine Hall with an eclectic mix of cutting-edge arts events, performances, music and film. Participants exhibited alongside each other without partitions or walls, creating a pop-up village of global art for visitors to explore. All participants hosted a live event of their choice.

I just saw the "Exposed" exhibit at the Tate Today, and it was excellent! The intersections of Voyeurism, Surveillance, and the camera were all thoroughly explored...and well presented!
Worth 10pounds.
I'm with Yee Gan as in I've never quite adapted that gene for modern art interpretation and appreciation... at times, it's more like being a voyeur through a psychedelic roller-coaster, or a walk down sensory overload lane....free museum save special exhibits, across the river from St Paul's by way of the pedestrian Millennium Bridge.
Regardless, I was here with time to kill waiting for a tour to begin across the way at Shakespeare's Globe, and this ultra-chic and stark exterior and interior was expansive and intriguing.
I wandered the floors that were free and perused the marvelously diverse gift and bookstore. Glad I saw it and appreciated the diversion. Best part is the very convenient Tate boat whisking one down the Thames and over to the Tate Britain, which I took in after the Globe.
The admission to the Tate Modern is free, but the four floor is dedicated to 2 different special temporary exhibitions and usually tickets cost around 10 pounds. The exhibition "Voyeurism, surveillance and the camera" contains a very special selection of controversial photos from between the middle of the 19th century and now. The main thematic sections being: celebrities, nudity, sex, war, death, intimacy, privacy, spying on people. Especially viewers are confronted with a few fundamental dilemmas of the profession : to what degree may a photographer intrude into a daily life of people, what and if are there any boundaries the photographer should not cross, are people entitled to protect their privacy, may governments spy on people using photos as their source material? At the exhibition one may find a number of very interesting examples of very first celebrity photos such as the picture of Edgar Degas leaving a pissoir or intrusive photos of Jacky Kennedy. The first attempts to capture eroticism come from the 1850s. This section contains some pornographic images, portraits of strippers, scenes from brothels and photos capturing a night life in parks. Additionally a number of photos depict intimate acts of ordinary people taken without their knowledge from disguise. The remaining part of the exhibition is dedicated to the presentation of photos depicting violent events, the subjects of photos may be members of Mafia in Palermo, the daughter of the Burgermeister of Leipzig when she committed suicide at the end of the war, an IRA gunman. A number of examples of war photography are shown along these photos especially these documenting the killings from African conflicts are distressing. The governments use the surveillance technology to invigilate demonstrations, identify protestants and to spy on foreign regimes, armies as well as ordinary people.
The exhibition occupies 14 rooms and a number of photos presented there is overwhelming. Photos are on display until 03.10.10.

I'm definitely not the biggest art museum fan, but the Tate Modern is definitely worth a trip if you have the time. While I wouldn't put it in my top 10 things to do in London, if you're there for more than 4 days, give it a look. It's a huge museum converted from an old power station. It's also free which is a big plus for me.

When we visited the Tate museum, the exhibit of the earthquake crack on the floor was really eye catching. You can't help but want to look straight down to see what is down there... just dark empty space. The walk across the bridge was the best part of the visit. You can take amazing photos of the city view.
It's mostly FREE. The featured exhibits [Exposed: Voyeurism, Surveillance, and the Camera--28 May to 3 October 2010 & Francis Alys: A Story of Deception--15 June to 5 September 2010] will cost you ten pounds.
The permanent collection is rather exciting. There is a wonderful installation art piece by Marisa Merz. Thought provokng photographs by Bruce Davidson. And a disturbingly erotic and violent piece by Francis Bacon.
There is a river boat that will take you from Tate Modern to Tate Britain for 3.35 pounds if you have an Oyster Card.
I was blown away by how bizarre some of the art work is. I loved it though because of how open everything was and plus, it is free. Some of the exhibits you need special tickets for but the free bits were amazing and so different.
Worth the trek to the other side of London for a number of reasons: stellar modern art exhibits; brilliant views of London from the other side of the Thames; the museum shops and cafes; and the people-watching. When I go to this part of town, I usually stop by the Globe Theatre beforehand - walk over to the Tate - then walk back to the city center via the magnificent Millennium Bridge. As Wallace and Gromit would have it: a great day out (and good walkies, too).
[Note: The original Tate is in a completely different location, across the river - so don't confuse the two.]

I found Tate Modern to be overwhelming in all the best ways. Situated on the Thames, the views out the back are phenomenal. I do believe my entire experience was enhanced because I had never been to London at the time, but I still think back with amazement at my trip to the Tate in October 2007.
Doris Salcedo's Shibboleth installation had just opened and that was of course the first thing that stood out. Rarely, if ever, could you walk into a revered museum to find the first floor completely severed. A subterranean chasm as they called it, engulfed the first floor by stretching the fracture throughout the entire space. You could look down into it and it was a truly phenomenal way of transforming a space in a minimal, but monumental way.
The architecture and layout of Tate Modern were excellent as well. This museum is navigable with ease and there are plenty of spots to take a rest along the way. While I was there I also got to see the Louise Bourgeois retrospective which was expansive and eye-opening. While I was particularly taken with the cells, the exhibition spanned her entire career and it was a great exploration of her diverse talent.
Tate Modern is aggressively programmed, educational and always in context. Of all the things I saw, one thing still stays in mind all the time. There was a tiny alcove dedicated to photographer Francesca Woodman and it completely blew my mind. The tragic story behind her life is for you to find out, but the photographs were unforgettable and capped a day at a museum that exceeded all my expectations.
I hope I get to return here one day, but for now I will continue to measure all museum experiences against this one.

The architecture alone is moving. Needed at least a day to fully appreciate the elegant geometry of Turbine Hall. It is grand. I saw a woman underestimate its dimensions once. She climbed to the top of a Louise Bourgeois sculpture (the first commissioned work for the Unilever series). When she got to the top she realized how tall the sculpture was and was afraid to come down. She did, eventually. Thanks to a nice guard and an hour's worth of time. And everyone in the gallery--perhaps three or four hundred people--applauded when her foot hit the last stair.
I like the way it has a lot of open spaces and places to gather. The cafe has so many yummy options and cute service with a smile. Like the rest of London, the museum is free. Europe gets this free art thing so right. If only America would follow suit. Great gift shop, fantastic for gifts to bring home from your visit.
Then there's the art. Cool!
Great selection... every space is totally different and it is a great introduction to modern art (for beginners like me). The building in itself is also amazing with such huge space inside and its stark presence / scale from outside. A great location as well, on the south bank, where there is lots more to do before or after visiting the Tate modern. There are also some great items available in the gift shop.
Amazing! I love London because all the museums are FREE! 100% FREE! It is the most amazing thing in the world and I wish that all cities followed in the footsteps of this city!
You know the Tate Modern is different from the second you see it from the Millennium Bridge. It is a large brown brick building with an observation tower and speaks modern in all aspects of the word. When I went there were a few exhibits outside the museum including a grouping of birch trees and the special neon light art display done by Miroslaw Balka. The inside of the museum only gets better.
There are interactive pieces that engage the museumgoer and there are traditional art displays (as traditional as modern art can be, that is).
There are pieces by Picasso and Pollack and Dali.
There are paintings and sculptures and a table & chair large enough to fill a room.
And there is Warhol! His New Yorker covers, his self-portrait, his dollar sign silk screen.
How could one pass up this museum, especially since it is FREE! I could spend all day here and almost did!
I love that they were open until 10 on Fridays and Saturdays! Walking across the Millenium Bridge in the freezing cold to get to Tate Modern was honestly a pretty sweet experience in itself. The view was incredible, the cold air refreshing. Millenium Bridge + Tate Modern would definitely be my "getaway" if I were a Londoner.
Contemporary art is more of my cup of tea, so Tate Modern was definitely a score for me. Plus, entry is free with the exception of the bigger, promoted exhibitions. I liked that on each level between the entrance way to the galleries, there were interactive areas and activities to engage in. And of course, lots of interesting works of art to visually stimulate.
If I were to be reviewing the building and the gift shop this place would fall in the 4/5 star category and it's highly likely that most people who visit this museum only remember or want to see the building and gift shop and therein lies the reason why the rest of it only gets 2 stars.
The Tate Britain, National Portrait Gallery, National Gallery, White Cube Gallery all of these are excellent art museums with fantastic art. They attract rather boring people who want to look at art. People like me. The Tate Modern is like the parallel of Chuck E. Cheese in art galleries. As soon as you walk through the door you notice that most people here have been guided here by the free guidebooks they got when they booked their trip. Whilst I think as many people as possible should see art I don't think the Tate Modern is in any way a good introduction to the art world and I think that's reflected in the fact that the average visitor seems totally dis-interested.
The art here is often cryptic, weird and with that kind of hidden message mentality I find quite irritating in Modern Art. If you can push through the crowds to see some of the famous works here they are quite impressive but most of it is just baffling. Nothing compared to the beauty of the work in it's sister gallery on Millbank.
That's not to say there's no merit to the Tate Modern. It's worth one visit just to see the enormous turbine hall and the doubt-less impressive work contained within it. It's worth seeing the famous works and having a trot around, probably much better when it's quiet in the evenings. The gift shop is certainly worthy of a browse. I'm not saying don't visit I'm just saying don't expect to be entertained for a whole day without being irritated.
Oh also, I do owe them kudos for putting on an Arshile Gorky exhibition. I think the Tate Modern and Gorky have a lot in common. The more mundane elements of Gorky's work are, in my opinion, the most impressive just as the more mundane elements of the Tate Modern are the most well thought out.
My favorite museum in London!
I love coming here on a Borough Market day as I'm walking along the Southbank. The have a huge range of modern art here from super abstract pieces like rope on the floor, to classics like Miro's whale, or Matisse's escargot, Andy Warhol. Great place to hang out and you're sure to find something fun to look at. Love that they are open till 10pm on Fri/Sat too!
It's hard to be disappointed in something when it is free!
The building itself is interesting enough, the art is a nice addition to this building and make worth your short journey as it is in a very nice location. Enjoy yourself here!
I think there are enough reviews online already on the art itself for people to acquire an idea of what it is like and about.
What i particularly liked was the size of the rooms. They are massive, being so large, you could fit my house and next doors in comfortably with room to spare. If nothing else go to experience that.
I keep thinking that I missed something... After moving to London, people kept telling me that the Tate Modern was a must-see, so I added it to my list. In an effort to tick off all boxes on my sightseeing list, I jetted down to the museum a few months back and was hardly astounded. Perhaps my hopes were set too high? I love the majority of other galleries and museums in London and I definitely appreciate that they're all free (including the Tate Modern), but this one didn't really do it for me. I'd take the National Gallery or the V&A over the Tate any day!
Art for me is generally hard to grasp beyond the "oh look at that pretty picture it must have taken so much time to paint." Or, in the case of modern art, "my dog could have done that."
The Tate gave me an education I could never have gotten out of an art history book. The descriptions on the plaques next to the paintings were some of the most detailed, interesting and often funny blurbs I've ever read in a museum. Excerpts from personal letters, or quotations from other reputed critics brought the works to life. And of course, just seeing everything in person and being surrounded by the size of the colors and textures was just amazing.
Spend some time there, and get punched in the brain by art. It's a fun experience, trust me. Even if you don't particularly like what is represented, it'll always liven up a conversation later on in the day.
I do enjoy the Tate Modern. I've been there a few times now, since I am a sucker for places with free admission and late closing times (open until 10 on Fridays and Saturdays!). The building looks perhaps a bit like a prison, but it's really quite cool inside. They've got a great collection and it's all neatly arranged. It isn't overwhelming despite the incredible number of pieces there (well, except that one Warhol room with the neon cow wallpaper...that one makes my head feel a bit funny).
It's quite crowded, and I'm easily annoyed by crowds, so it's not an entirely enjoyable experience for me to go there. The rooms are also arranged a bit strangely and I don't yet have a good idea of the layout of the place, so I've ended up walking around in a circle a few times and I'm fairly sure I still haven't been in all of the rooms...though I can hardly fault the museum for my own lack of a sense of direction.

The Tate Modern is the bee's knees. It's the cat's pyjamas. It's the single most glorious release for the chronic art geek in London, and a dramatic stage for the crossing-over of those unconvinced about modern art.
The exhibits here are best appreciated in an elevated, open state of mind - just walking across the Millenium Bridge, which rises into empty space with open, metal wings, and the symbolism of walking away from St. Paul's Cathedral (the conventional, religious roots of medieval and Renaissance art) gives me that natural high. You can even arrive in style with the Tate to Tate ferry, designed by Damien Hirst.
Much has been said about the genius of star artists who feature in the permanent collection of the museum - from Dali to Duchamp, Kandinsky to Kapoor and others who unfortunately do not fit in my rhyme. The daily guided tours are great for a quick skim, and the audio guide is brilliant for some lazy rumination.
I love their turbine hall installations - the current one, Miroslaw Balka's How It Is, is a chilly, velvety shroud of darkness which illustrates the deathly atmosphere of the Holocaust. It brings out your innermost person - who you are when nobody can see - which seems to startle some people so much, that the Tate now has paramedics on hand. Unfortunately, in most people, this innermost person seems to be a shrieking child, horny teenager making out in a corner or a zombie who walks in thumps. For this reason, the exhibit is best experienced late night on a Friday, with minimum distractions.
I have to dock them a star for exhibitions such as the now-running Pop Life. This one is best skipped altogether - it's a collection of shallow, superficial eyesores - bright, neon installations and lewd photographic blow-ups that I can only hope to erase from my mind. The lesser that is said of it, the better.
I visited London, November of last year and despite the rain, I was determined to see the city by foot. I was strolling along the bank, shoes and knees soaked, bladder about to burst when I saw Tate Modern. It looked like a big warehouse from the outside and when you get closer, the grayish/brownish/bare building starts to brighten up from Andy Warhol's huge and loud banner. Inside was even louder.
It was a multi-level museum which had a vast amount of collection of contemporary modern arts. It has has that MoMA or MoCA or Mingei (local San Diego museum) feel but larger. Most of the exhibitions were free.
This place can be packed because it's free. Lots of students. Definitely worth visiting when you're in the city.
Shock of the new........
Things ain't like they used to be......... heard it all before. The idea it's all changed for the worst is just the clarion call of the aging and the grumpy.
There are those that do, those that criticise and those who did but have lost the fire inside and bang on like the very people they rebelled against in their early days. So it goes. Me I love it all.

I loved this place. Never been to the NYC MoMA, but it definitely beats the hell out of the SF MoMA. It is apparently a notoriously difficult modern art museum, but I did not feel alienated in the slightest, even being a relative newcomer to modern and contemporary art. Everything I saw was absolutely fascinating. I even enjoyed the special Dali gallery, which is saying something for an avowed Dali-hater.
And there's always something great in the Turbine Gallery. When I visited, there was an amazing installation exploring the state and nature of several major cities across the world, including truly amazing spatial representations of the relative urban density of each city. Having visited only some of the cities profiled, the density sculptures really put thing into perspective for me. It was incredible.

From the outside of the building, which is imposing and somewhat forbidding, to the inside, which is a tour de force of modern art, this place is a must-see in London. Even if you just go for the building you are in for a treat. But the art, inside, is truly world class. One can get an excellent introduction to modern art here, as there is some much data available, and should one go into the shop, one can truly become a bit of an expert should one care too. It's all there in books.
Great art, nice people, and a great place when it rains.
This is one of my all time favourite art museums. I was able to see my favourite artist - Piet Mondrian - and a myriad of other well known artists intermingled with some of the up and coming stars.
Its lovely that its free and you can spend an entire day looking at the displays which range from traditional modern to provocative. It is those in the latter category that pique my interest and the Tate Modern has a varied collection that really makes a trip here an event.

My friend and I were visiting London and some locals told us we HAD to visit the Tate Modern. We took the wrong train and basically got pretty lost some industrial area of London. With about 30 minutes to spare, we got to the right stop and had to run for our lives to get to the museum before it closed. Completely out of breath, the very first exhibit we saw was a TOILET. Yes, a white toilet, not painted nor manipulated in any way. Out of complete and utter exasperation, we could not stop laughing!
From room to room, there were other pretty interesting modern art, one was a wall that was painted bright red, and another was a video of a naked man jumping. I love art but I'm the first to say I don't understand some modern art. But it certainly entertained us and provoked a lot of emotions and conversation, which is the ultimate goal of art anyway.
It's been years and I can still tell you what I saw in the Tate Modern, so that has to say something!
In the evening, on level 7, St. Paul's Cathedral is in accompany - the Modern encounters Classical - timeless! Despite many items I cannot make sense of, i much enjoy hanging around Tate Modern, a re-modernised bankside power station. I can sit inside the red cubes on each floor watching multi media for hours.
Tate Modern often reminds me MoMA and Guggenheim in New York. This time around, the Pop Life tops the Whitney Museum of American Art. Andy Warhol's video interviews are addictive, even for someone bourgeois like me having minimal basis for pop culture. Takashi Murakami internationalises what we now called "pop." Kirsten Dunst's cast as Majokko is simply magic - the blue wig~~
I also like the way Tate organises the art work, by major themes not chronological order. Level 3, Poetry and Dream, Material Gestures, Level 5, Energy and Process, States of Flux with Level 1 (Turbine Hall) and Level 4 the major special exhibitions, like the Pop Life and Pure Beauty currently on. Depending on the mood, I wander back to the themed galleries, where my imagination flies :-)
Museums are generally good for visits during holiday seasons in London, less crowded and windy. Come join me for a visit.

Walking along the South Bank to the Tate was a treat in itself. The buskers add so much color to an otherwise grey city, as did the graffiti and skaters ripping it up in the mini skate park. When I finally made the pilgrimage to the Tate, it was as if I'd been given a prize deserving such praise!
The building itself is a wonderful work of art. Amazing. Comprehensive and wonderful layout (with guides that are actually useful) take you around this jam-packed museum, chock full of goodness. The part I liked best however, was the patio outside the cafe overlooking the Thames and right at St. Paul's catherdral. It was very picturesque. A must do for visitors to London.
I *L*O*V*E*D this museum. I enjoyed everything about it, from the walk on the "wobbly bridge" leading to the Tate, to the chic "modern" cafe where I had a quick snack, and of course, the free admission.
I could have easily spent 2 full days here. I was well into my 5th or 6th hour when I decided to try to sneak a photo at an exhibit called "Scale", which featured a gigantic table and chairs. Don't worry, Tate Modern police, I totally lost my nerve(and also got busted by a fellow patron from Singapore who gave me a disapproving look as I "examined" my camera for "dust".)
After putting the camera up with no photo snapped, he realized I wasn't a criminal and decided to pal up with me and asked me to translate several exhibits for him into simpler English. BUT - since I LOVED the museum and all installations, it was no task at all - and a personal challenge to try to translate/explain the Warhols. :)
Tate Modern is simply the BEST museum I have step foot in. I visited London in the Winter of 2007. It's easy to get to by the London Underground, there's different stops that can lead you here, I took the scenic route and exited the underground on the other side of the River Thames so I can stroll pass St. Paul's Cathedral and walk across the Millennium Bridge.
The museum is nicely organized and it's easy to walk around. So many great exhibits, art pieces, and media presentations. The cafe is great and overall it's a great place to go to expand your horizons and experience great modern art. It's also a great place to relax, people watch, take a breather or warm up from the cold weather outside. The gift shop is amazing. I bought a journal planner and I used it for the entire year.
There's so much to see that I came back twice! I also returned during the evening for a film they showed in their theatre. Good thing it's free! Brilliant.
The Tate was easily my favorite museum I visited while in London. Once more I must reiterate that admission to this fantastic museum, like most museums in London, is free. That may be common in the UK but I was always astounded after coming from a city where museum visits will be at least $10 admission.
The collection was fantastic with artists like Matisse, Warhol, Picasso and various installation artists. Everything worked so well together and with the space itself (open, glass walls, flowing perfectly into everything else, and creating an exhibit of humanity as well as the art itself). The view of the Millennium Bridge and the skyline from the balcony is absolutely gorgeous, and the grounds of the Tate are extremely amenable on a sunny afternoon. Also, the Body in Motion exhibit (aka, adult sized playground) was fantastic and so much fun to both observe and act within.
Although some of the rooms were closed because they were installing new exhibits (to open the next week... damn) the Tate was still a very enjoyable experience, still my favorite museum in London and still something I'd do all over again.

Sure, some of the "art" in the Tate deserves to be mentioned only in quotations (for example: soap on a rope?!) but there's still a lot of really great work here too! If for no other reason, the boring/lame/no-talent-needed art actually allows people like Picasso, Dali and Pollock, etc to really stand out even more. I find that when I visit the Tate, I'm generally able to walk into a room and within moments something always just catches my eye. As I get a little closer, I recognize the piece or the artist and realise even further why these are considered the masters. Then again, art is subjective (yada yada yada, blah blah blah), so what do I really know anyway?
So the great thing about the Tate is that it's in a great location and it's home to a number of really brilliant pieces of art. The not-so-great thing about the Tate is that it's always crowded and full of really obnoxious people. They either take themselves far too seriously or they walk around snickering at everything, which makes me wonder they bothered visiting in the first place?
And lately I've noticed a lot of kids and babies at the Tate, which kind of perplexes me. That said, I saw a very young boy parked in front of Picasso's Kiss, creating an absolutely perfect replica of it and I couldn't keep from smiling ear to ear. I also found myself struggling not to burst into laughter when a little girl shouted to her mom "you can see her boobies!!" after spotting an abstract nude. Brilliant.

We came here for the Long Weekend and had a massive fun afternoon. The Bodyspacemotionthing exhibition was well organised, very h&s compliant and we had much fun reverting to our kiddie self.
We then went to the slightly more "serious" Roni Horn exhibition upstairs and got into trouble because we stood too close to the glass installation after the "audience participation" experience. The tiny exhibition booklet was very informative and we had a great time exploring the ideas of the exhibition even though none of us heard of Roni Horn before Saturday.
The afternoon was finished off in the Member's Bar- which has got stricter since my last visit- not sure if it is the fear of Bank Holiday mania, but they now don't budge on bringing "extra riff raft" into the bar (ie each member's card strictly allows 1 or 2 depending on the type you have).
We had some crazy good British Cherry Beer and delicious roasted nuts outside on the terrace and tortally enjoyed the "privilege" of being there. Most of the beers/ pop looked incredibly interesting- including a "liberation" beer to tie in with an constructivism exhibition. Food is expensive and I have yet to properly try their offerings even though it looks good.
All in all, a brill afternoon!

Saw the Warhol exhibit here and it was dope. Definitely a first rate experience. Some of the installations are insane (people sitting on toilets, a glass of water on a shelf the artist claims is an elephant, etc.). The key to enjoying that Tate is to not take everything so seriously. Art can be anything and everywhere, enjoy it.
I DONT REALLY GET WHAT ALL THE 4's are about? I LOVE THE TATE. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE GIVING OUT 4's? ART CURATORS? CAN THEY REALLY BE JUDGING MODERN ART? Bahahah, probably not.
Sometimes when I look at the art here it makes me feel high.... OH WAIT... its a modern art museum I get it! No but really this place is pretty great. Parts of it are free and the set up is fanatastic.
I really love art museums and feel that this place is deffinately one I would come back to again since they also have revolving exhibts. Both my Mum and Dad (who I came here with) loved it as well.
AND SHHHHH.... I took some pictures of the art while no one was looking. DON'T WORRY, DONT WORRY the flash was off so as not to damage the art....
but I felt so rebellious... hehe

Try as I do, I just don't get modern art. Really, what is it? I watched a guy almost step on a shoebox in the middle of the floor and we both looked at each other and laughed because that was one of the pieces. This museum is in a great location right on the river by the Globe and across Millennium Bridge from St. Paul's. Find some time to work in a stop here and have a go at the art on display here. There were some odd films playing and some really beautiful Dalis, Picassos, Pollocks and Warhols. I still think the MOMA is the modern art museum that all others will be judged by. But, the Tate has a very impressive collection.
