Tate Modern, Modern art museum in Bankside, London, United Kingdom
The Tate Modern exhibits international modern and contemporary art collections across multiple floors of a converted power station along the River Thames.
The structure functioned as Bankside Power Station from 1947 to 1981, before architects Herzog and de Meuron transformed it into an art museum, opening in 2000.
The museum displays numerous artworks from notable creators including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Andy Warhol throughout its permanent and temporary exhibitions.
Visitors can access the permanent collection without charge every day from 10:00 to 18:00, while special exhibitions require separate admission tickets.
The Turbine Hall, a five-story tall central space, presents large-scale contemporary art installations that change throughout the year.
