A Modern Art Gallery


seen from St Paul's
The Tate Modern is 1 of the most attractive galleries with more than 50,000 priceless paintings from the 20th and 21st centuries. Here you can see the works of Dali, Rodin or Picasso.

It’s also well-known because of its workshops where you can produce your own art.

Originally it was a power station and its central chimney is 99 metres high. Two Swiss architects, Herzog and de Meuron, converted the old building but kept the original design.
