Tate Modern, opened in May 2000, is Britain's new national museum of modern art. Housed in the former Bankside Power Station, Tate Modern is a spectacular setting for displaying the Tate's collection of international modern art from 1900 to the present day, including major works by Bacon, Dalí, Picasso, Matisse, Rothko and Warhol as well as recent work by artists such as Steve McQueen, Rebecca Horn and Gillian Wearing.

There is also an extensive range of special exhibitions and a programme of events throughout the year.

Tate Modern is located on the south bank of the River Thames at Bankside, near Blackfriars Bridge, opposite St Paul's Cathedral and next to the Globe Theatre. Underground: Southwark (Jubilee Line) and Blackfriars (District and Circle Lines) are the closest underground stations both of which are less than ten minutes walk away from the Tate Modern.
