Are you visiting London soon and thinking about the interesting places that you could check and go to? Let us help you with some ideas related to those places and destinations which we have been to. One of these destinations in London is Tate Modern, which is all about art.

The main goal behind Tate Modern in London is giving the world the chance to fully understand the British art from the 16th century and at the same time help them know more about the international modern and contemporary art.

Tate is an old place that is opening its doors to the public since a very long period of time but lots of tourists forget about visiting the place, especially if they are not great lovers of art, but who out there does not appreciate art and its existence? The story of Tate started back in 1897 when it first opened its doors to the public, but at that time it only had one site that displayed a small collection of British art.

Through the passage of time, this small site expanded to four different major sites along with the national collection of British art from 1500 to the present day and international modern and contemporary art, which includes nearly 70,000 artworks.

Some people are asking about the name "Tate" given to this art museum and from where did it come. Henry Tate is the reason behind this name and he was an industrialist who had made his fortune as a sugar refiner and who offered his British nineteenth century collection to the nation and provided the first funding to the Tate, which is the main reason why it has taken his name. The collection and history of Tate kept going further with some help and funding offered by other important characters back in history, such as the Duveen Family.

Tate Modern is the place we have been walking through in this video and which is part of the places that visitors should visit in London, it opens its gates from Sunday to Thursday from 10 AM to 6 PM, and from Friday to Saturday from 10 AM to 10 PM.

From the free collection displays in Tate Modern, there is the material and objects, the start display, the living cities, the performer and participant, and the between the object and architecture; every single one of these carries its own message through the different artwork that is displayed inside.
