Tate Modern

What it is

Museum tags: Art; Contemporary art; Modern art

One of London’s premier art galleries, famous for its absolutely ginormous collection of 20th and 21st century art, and blockbuster temporary exhibitions. You could spend all day exploring its free permanent collection and still not see everything. For me, the highlight is the ‘Artist and Society’ section, which explores the interaction between politics and art, featuring artists the world over. The ‘Start’ display is also a great introduction to modern art.

It’s also a great gallery for kids, with lots of kid-friendly interactive sections and activities.

Finally, the location is a blockbuster in its own right. The gallery is housed in a converted power station on the Thames, and its entrance hall (the iconic ‘Turbine Hall’) hosts immersive installations.
