Tate Modern

Opened in May 2000, the Tate Modern is the UK's premier museum of Modern Art. The museum is imaginatively housed in an old electric power station right in centre of London on the waterfront. Tate Modern displays the Tate collection of international modern art from 1900 to the present day, including major works by Dalí, Picasso, Matisse, Rothko and Warhol as well as contemporary work by artists such as Dorothy Cross, Gilbert & George and Susan Hiller. The seven-storey museum is segregated into four themes : Still Life, Landscape, the Nude and History.
