Tate Modern,Information | Generator Hostels

Tate Modern reflects international and British developments from 1900 to now; it is a museum of international modern arts where you can see pieces designed by the great masters of British art, such as John Constable and JMW Turne.

Surrealism, abstract expressionism, Naum Gabo, Giacometti and Pop Art are all part of the collections in the Tate Modern – some of them you may know. You can find Matisse’s Snail, Picasso’s creations and Rodin’s The Kiss among other wonders of the modern art.

Some of the exhibition sections are covering the contemporary art scene.

When the gallery opened in 2000, the collections were displayed thematically into four broad groups: History-Memory-Society; Nude-Action-Body; Landscape-Matter-Environment and Still Life-Object-Real Life.

Nowadays the Tate Collection is on display on levels 3 and 5 of the building, while level 4 houses large temporary exhibitions and a small exhibition and space on level 2 houses work by contemporary artists.

Tate Modern is perhaps the trendiest museum of London, there are always things going on here and one of the best things is the bar on the 5th floor which is open late on Friday and Saturday nights, and you can go in and look out over London.
