When Tate Modern opened at the turn of the millennium, it was an instant icon, transforming an obsolete power station into the world’s most visited gallery of modern and contemporary art.

The launch of the new Tate Modern this year has been the most significant moment for the gallery since its opening. A dramatic new building to the south, the ‘Switch House’, boasts brand new gallery levels for Tate’s global collection, and generous public spaces for the millions who visit to see special exhibitions, enjoy social spaces, and learn about art from around the world.

With its commanding location on the banks of the Thames, opposite St Paul’s Cathedral, the new Tate Modern has ten floors of unique and varied spaces, plus the vast and versatile Turbine Hall and Tanks.
