Tate Modern was created in the year 2000 from a disused power station in the heart of London. It is Britain's national museum of international modern art.

The collections in Tate Modern consists of works of international modern and contemporary art dating from 1900 onwards. The Tate Collection is on display on levels three and five of the building, while level four houses large temporary exhibitions. Level two only has a small exhibition space and houses work by contemporary artists.

The Turbine Hall, which once housed the electrical generators of the old power station, is five storeys tall with 3,400 square meters of floorspace. Between October and March each year, it is used to display large specially commissioned works by contemporary artists.

Tate Modern is open Sunday to Thursday from 10:00 to 18:00. Friday and Saturday opening hours is from 10:00 to 22:00. Admission to the gallery is free.
