Visitor’s Guide To London’s Tate Britain, The Best Of British Art

Here’s my guide to visiting the magnificent Tate Britain in London. I give you an overview of the museum and 15 masterpieces you can’t miss.

The museum may not be as wildly popular as its sister-museum, the Tate Modern. But if you’re a lover of British art, the Tate Britain is a must visit attraction in London.

Tate Britain features traditional British art from the 1545 to the present day. It’s home to J.M.W. Turner’s watercolors and dreamy Pre-Raphaelite paintings. Some of the most famous paintings in Britain are housed in this museum.

Of special note, there are 8 entire rooms dedicated to Turner, one of Britian’s greatest artists, in the Clore Gallery. The gallery includes some of Turner’s greatest masterpieces — such as  Self Portrait, Peace, Burial at Sea,  and  Norham Castle, Sunrise.

In addition, the Tate Britain is a pristine glistening work of art itself. The museum boasts a domed rotunda, beautiful spiral staircase, terrazzo floors, and Victorian details.

Built in the late 19th century, the Tate Britain underwent an extensive renovation, which was completed in 2013. The result is an ultra pretty museum experience.

History Of The Tate Britain

The Tate Galleries were named after William Tate. He was a Victorian businessman who made his fortune in the sugar trade.

Tate was also one of Britain’s most important art collectors. Among his most important acquisitions were John Everett Millais’ Ophelia and J.W. Waterhouse’s The Lady of Shallot .

In 1889, he offered to donate his collection to the nation on the condition that a gallery be built to showcase it. Tate even ponied up the money to build the museum.

In 1897, the National Gallery of British Art opened. It was founded as a branch of the National Gallery of Art .

Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Monna Vanna, 1866

The museum was renamed the Tate Gallery in 1932. Today, there are four Tate galleries in Britain, including the Tate Modern, the Tate St. Ives, and the Tate Liverpool. When the Tate Modern opened, the Tate Gallery was renamed Tate Britain.

Other significant patrons include the Duveen family. They funded large extension to the gallery.

What Exactly Is British Art?

The Tate Britain contains a collection of works made by British artists or that were created in Britain. But what makes British art “British?”

Edward Burne-Jones, Frieze of Eight Women Gathering Apples, 1876

British art followed a somewhat different course of development from mainstream European art.

British art is most remarkable for its dominance of the portraiture genre in the 17th through 19th centuries. In the Georgian period, Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough were lionized for their portraits, rendered in an infinite variety of grays and greens.

Britain was also noted for its landscape paintings, especially from the Romantic Age. You’ll find seminal works by luminaries such as Turner, William Blake, and John Constable.

John Singer Sargent, detail of Mrs. Carl Meyer and Her Children, 1896

British art also has some unique genres. In Britain, group portraits became known as “conversation pieces.” They were popularized by William Hogarth, Britain’s first native born painter of International stature.

Conversations pieces were informal portraits. They focused on social relationships between friends and family.

The Pre-Raphaelites were also a distinctively British art movement. They wanted to establish a new kind of art in Britain, reviving the methods and ideals of Early Renaissance and Medieval art. 

Taking the idea of “truth to nature,” they sought to invest their red headed subjects with a sense of physical and psychological realism. This British school influenced a wider European Symbolism movement.

James Tissot, The Ball on Shipboard, 1874

Tickets & Tours of Tate Britain

Tate Britain is free to visit. So you don’t need to pre-book a ticket.

But you may want to book a guided tour of the impressive collection.

Click here for a 2.5 hour guided tour of the collection, which I’ve taken and really enjoyed. You can also book a guided tour of both the Tate Britain and the Tate Modern .

Guide To The Tate Britain: What To See

There are scads of masterpieces at the Tate Britain. Here’s my guide to 15 show-stopping highlights. You’ll see them in mostly chronological order.

John Everett Millais, Ophelia, 1851-52, a masterpiece of the Tate Britain

1. Sir John Everett Millais, Ophelia

Ophelia is my favorite painting at the Tate Britain. It’s a classic Pre-Raphaelite work with bright colors, a dreamy visionary quality, and a tragic theme of wasted youth.

The painting depicts the death of Ophelia, a character in Shakespeare’s Hamlet . Ophelia is driven mad with grief when Hamlet murders her father. She falls into a stream and drowns.

In the painting, Ophelia holds a variety of flowers. The poppies symbolize death, the daisies represent innocence, and the pansies reflect blighted love.

In its day, Ophelia was regarded as at the most accurate and elaborate study of nature ever made. The model for Ophelia posed in a bathtub.

John William Waterhouse, The Lady of Shalott, 1888

2. John William Waterhouse,  The Lady of Shalott

Waterhouse’s  The Lady of Shalott is an incredible masterpiece in the Tate Britain. It transports viewers back forty years earlier when the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood dominated the middle of the century.

The subject is a vulnerable young red haired woman in white gown. She’s set adrift in a river setting reminiscent of Ophelia .

The painting has the same mythical beauty as Ophelia . But Waterhouse’s painting has a more impressionistic delicacy.

The subject of the painting comes from Lord Alfred Tennyson’s Arthurian poem of the same name. In the poems, she lives isolated in a castle.

detail of The Lady of Shallot

Because of a curse, she is forbidden from looking out her window, upon the pain of death. Instead, she’s relegated to viewing images of the outside world through a mirror.

One day, she sees a reflection of a rather handsome Lancelot. She’s smitten and looks directly at him through the window.

To meet him, she leaves her castle and rides a boat down to Camelot. The tapestry she wove during her confinement is draped over the boat.

But the curse kicks in and she dies before reaching the shore. Here demise is hinted at by a crucifix and three candles in the painting.

Henry Wallis, Chatterton, 1856

3. Henry Wallis, Chatterton

Chatterton is a highly romanticized painting. It created a sensation when it was exhibited at the Royal Academy. It’s an example of the Victorian approach to history painting.

Thomas Chatterton was a poet and melancholy writer of Gothic themes. Despairing of his lack of literary success, he committed suicide at the age of 17 by swallowing arsenic.

Wallis’ painting shows the pale, still body of Chatterton lying on a bed. His head and right arm dangling loosely over the edge, his tattered papers and the poison vial beside him.

His white shirt and stockings help to silhouette the figure against the darker background. The vivid purple of Chatterton’s knee breeches and his reddish hair grab the viewer’s attention.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Beata Beatrix, 1864-70

4. Rossetti, Beata Beatrix

This is another Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece at the Tate Britain. The inspiration for the painting was Dante’s Vita Nuova . That work tells the story of Dante’s idealized and unrequited love for Beatrice.

The painting is a portrait of Rossetti’s wife Elizabeth Siddall in the character of Beatrice. In the background, Dante gazes toward his love.

The work has a hazy, transcendental quality. Beatrice is posed in ecstasy. The painting seems like a dream or vision.

The painting is filled with symbolic references. A bird drops a white poppy into her hand, a symbol of death. The dove and the figure of Love are red, the color of passion. The time of Beatrice’s death is seen in the sundial.

John Constable, Flatford Mill, 1817

5. John Constable’s  Flatford Mill

Along with Turner, Constable revolutionized landscape painting in the 19th century. His paintings had a profound and far-reaching effect on European art, particularly in France.

Constable moved away from the highly idealized landscapes that were the expected norm at the academy. Instead, he favored realistic depictions of the natural world.

Constable was famous for painting the Suffolk countryside and Flatford Mill is no exception. The painting shows men working on the River Stour. It was intended as an expression of the importance and value of rural life.

Flatfoot Mill was Constable’s largest canvas and was mainly painted outside. He called it one of his “six footers.”

William Blake, Newton, 1795-1805

6. William Blake Works

William Blake was an artist who developed radical new approaches to painting and printmaking. He explored highly personal interpretations of Christian themes. Rejecting the academy, Blake became the most radical of leftfield artists.

Nowadays, Blake is a revered hero. He’s considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual art of the Romantic Age.

But, in his age, he was considered a visionary oddball. And, indeed, Blake claimed to have visions since childhood.

You can see some of Blake’s visions at the Tate Britain. They include The Ghost of a Flea , Newton , and Satan Smiting Job with Sore Boils.

Sir Thomas Lawrence, Mrs. Siddons, 1769-1830

7. Thomas Lawrence, Mrs. Siddons

Lawrence was the most popular English portrait painter of his time. He was famed for portraying the high society ladies in a polished and flattering style. Lawrence became the court painter for King Georg IV.

Lawrence painted many portraits of the actress Sarah Siddons. She was known as the greatest tragic actress of her day.

In this painting, she is shown at one of her dramatic readings. Volumes of plays are next her.

Turner, Norham Castle, Sunrise, 1845

8. Turner Paintings

Turner may be Britain’s most famous and important artist. In the mid 19th century, Turner shocked his colleagues with his loose brush strokes and fiery palette, presaging the later Impressionist movement. 

The Tate Britain’s collection of Turner is the world’s largest collection. It includes all the paintings he had in his possession upon his death.

Turner left it to the nation in his will. There are several hundred oil paintings, watercolors, and sketch books. They are displayed in 8 rooms in the Clore Gallery.

Turner’s works range from highly finished scenes to spontaneous impressions of nature. In the early 19th century, Turner concentrated on British subjects, displaying a patriotic sentimentalism.

one of Rothko's Seagram Murals

9. Mark Rothko’s Seagram Murals

Mark Rothko is an American abstract expressionist painter. But he drew inspiration from Turner. As a result of his admiration, he gifted a group of paintings to the Tate Britain. It’s in the Clore Gallery with Turner’s works.

Rothko was originally commissioned by Seagrams to create these murals for the Four Seasons restaurant in New York. In 1959, Rothko abruptly quit the prestigious gig. Apparently, he didn’t want his art to be mere decoration for wealthy patrons.

Instead, the Seagram Murals took on a darker and more contemplative turn. Michelangelo’s Laurentian Library in Florence Italy influenced Rothko’s meditations.

He used a somber palette of red, browns, and blacks. Rothko sought to re-create the library’s claustrophobic and sepulchral atmosphere.

The murals are displayed in dark, dimly lit rooms. At the time, some criticized them as “Apolcalypse Wallpaper.”

10. Henry Moore Sculptures

Henry Moore burst on to the scene in the 1920s. He was a radical and experimental sculptor. He became the leading sculptor of his generation and a pioneer of modern sculpture.

Moore’s enduring subject was the human body. He saw the countryside as the best setting for his sculptures. Some of his forms are shaped like natural objects such as stones or bones.

Moore’s sculptures are displayed in two dedicated rooms at the Tate Britain. The famous sculptures include Reclining Figure , Recumbent Figure , Family Group , and King and Queen .

King and Queen was created about the same time as the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Moore portrays the figures as almost divine beings.

Francis Bacon, Three Studies For Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion, 1944

11. Francis Bacon, Three Studies For Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion

Francis Bacon is know for his emotionally charged raw imagery of traumatized humanity. Drifting inbetween figuration and abstraction, his figures are set in isolated and geometric cage-like spaces. They have flat non descriptive backgrounds.

Bacon liked to work in series. He would focus on a single subject for a sustained period of time.

the middle scene of Bacon's triptych

Three Studies was a breakthrough painting for Bacon. It caused a sensation and established him as one of the foremost post-war painters.

It’s not really a crucifixion painting. Bacon later said he was inspired by the vengeful furies of Greece mythology.

This work was first exhibit in 1945. Some historians think Bacon’s work reflects the grim world used in by the Holocaust.

Lucian Freud, Girl With a White Dog, 1950-51

12. Lucian Freud, Girl With a White Dog

Lucian Freud is considered one of the most important figurative painters of the 20th century. He essentially redefined portraiture.

The grandson of the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, Freud became famous for his unflinching observations of anatomy and the unsettling intensity of his nude portraits.

Freud used an anti-romantic, confrontational style of portraiture that stripped bare the sitter’s social facade. His images were intensely realized and almost intentionally uglified. Some critics considered Freud the painter of fat people who own their fat.

Freud's controversial portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, in the Royal Collection

Freud used loose brushwork and richly applied color. His portraits of lovers, friends, family, and celebrities are fleshy, honest, tender, and complex.

Girl With a White Dog is an early portrait of his pregnant first wife. The absence of a title emphasizes the artist’s preoccupation with observation.

The painting depicts a pale woman in a dressing gown clutching a white dog. The longer you look at it, the more uncomfortable the image becomes. 

The woman looks calm, but also a little crazy. The dog is a bull terrier.

The blunt muzzle is terrifyingly close to the woman’s exposed breast. Will the dog bite the woman? Will the woman strangle the dog?

David Hockney, A Bigger Splash, 1967

13. David Hockney, A Bigger Splash

Hockney is one of the most recognizable and popular British artists of our time. His main interest is the challenge of representation, trying to capture an object in two dimension.

A Bigger Splash is an iconic work of Pop Art. It was created in the late 1960s when Hockney had moved to California.

It was a post-war period of optimism and Hockney’s depiction of a California swimming pool reflects this.

The painting evokes a glamorous life of sun and leisure. In many of his paintings, Hockney added male figures. But, in this one, the splash is all the suggests a human presence.

Allen Jones, Chair, 1969

14. Allen Jones, Chair

Allen Jones is a pop artist best known for his figurative paintings and sculpture. His controversial “women as furniture” series sparked outrage for its objectification of the female body.

Chair is a life-size, hyper-realistic female mannequin squeezed into bondage gear. The artist has a fascination with fakery and fetish.

On International Women’s Day in 1986, a demonstrator poured paint stripper over  Chair  in an attempt to literally deface it.

The sculpture still has the ability to shock today. Some claim it symbolizes female oppression. Others view it as an important object in the canon of art history, a response to the then prevailing Minimalism.

Chris Ofili, No Woman, No Cry, 1998

15. Chris Ofili, No Woman, No Cry 1998

This enormous painting and densely layered painting is a tribute to the mother of Stephen Lawrence. He was murdered in a racially motivated attack in 1993. It won Ofili the Turner Prize five years later.

Doreen Lawrence’s profile is set against a collaged backdrop of abstract diamonds shaped forms. Each of her light blue tears contains an image of her son. The words RIP are discernible under the paint.

The canvas is perched on two large pieces of elephant dung, a material Olifi liked to use. It exudes a feeling of universal melancholy and grief.

Hi. I visited 31st August 2022 – and none of the Pre Raphaelites are on display at the moment. Thanks for a great article

Oh, I’m sorry, that’s such a bummer! They must be gone as part of a traveling exhibit. I was there in March and they were all on display.

Thanks LivTours!

We took the guided tour of the British Museum with this company and were so pleased with the tour and the guide, that we booked their tour to visit the Tate. Again, we were extremely satisfied with the entire experience. The company is very customer-oriented and the guides are not just knowledgeable but also seem to be anxious to share that knowledge with you.... not like so many other bored (and boring) guides that we have had with other companies. Book with LivTours. You won't be disappointed!

Highly recommend

So glad we booked this tour to visit the Tate Museum in London. There is a rich collection of works and having a well-informed and charming guide to tell us the history, about the life of the artist and point out details made all the difference in the world. So much better than going on our own with just a tour book in hand.

Tate Modern

We had taken LivTour's tour of the Musee D'Orsay in Paris so we knew we were booking the best when we signed up for their tour of the Tate Modern while in London. Once again, our guide was excellent in every way: an expert in art history and an artist herself with a warm and friendly personality. Thanks to her, we will fondly remember our visit to the Tate and all of the unbelievable art that we saw there.

Tate Museum

Beautiful art!! Awesome guide!! Unforgettable experience!

Fascinating tour

Our tour of the Tate Museum with LivTour's guide, Mary, was just fascinating. Both my husband and I are very interested in modern art and the Tate has one of the best collections not to be missed. But the real treat was Mary's detailed and rich insights into the art and the artists that we were seeing. Thank you Mary for a truly wonderful experience!

The Ultimate Guide to visiting the Tate Britain

Tate britain ultimate guide.

It may not be as popular or as visited as its sister-museum Tate Modern, but if you’re a lover of everything and anything related to British art, then London’s Tate Britain certainly won’t disappoint.

The gallery was founded in 1889 by the famed industrialist Henry Tate, who owned a massive collection of British art after making a fortune as a sugar refiner. Because there was no space to house his art in the National Gallery, he decided to open up a new art gallery focusing specifically on British art.

Originally, Tate Britain was meant to be one museum and was a single gallery consisting of merely 65 British paintings; however, due to popular demand, the venue was eventually expanded into four different sites in 2000 (Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Tate St. Ives and Tate Liverpool).

All of the pieces of artwork in Tate Britain are organized chronologically and feature everything from Pre-Raphaelites, 20th century art, pop art, sculptures, and even historic artifacts and live dancers.

Take a Virtual Tour of Tate Modern’s Andy Warhol Exhibition

The show ran for just five days before the London museum closed due to COVID-19

Gallery assistant at Tate Modern

Five days after the opening of its much-anticipated Andy Warhol retrospective, Tate Modern closed its doors indefinitely in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

But museumgoers don’t have to wait for Tate to reopen to appreciate the exhibition. On April 6, the London institution released a collection of online resources related to the show. From a seven-minute video tour led by two Tate curators to a lengthy exhibition guide and a podcast titled “ The Art of Persona ,” art lovers can now fully explore the aptly titled “ Andy Warhol ” from home.

“Curating an Andy Warhol exhibition in the present-day means confronting a world where everyone has a mental projection of the artist and his production,” curators Gregor Muir and Fiontán Moran tell the Guardian ’s Tim Jonze. “Everyone owns Warhol. He is one of those rare artists who transcends the art world, having become widely known as one of America’s most famous artists, if not one of America’s most famous Americans. Over time, Warhol became—and still is—a big brand, which is just how he wanted it.”

The exhibition seeks to look beyond the persona of eccentricity that Warhol built for himself. Immigration forms featured in the show’s first gallery, for instance, document the Pop Art legend’s parents’ arrival in the United States. Andrej and Julia Warhola moved to Pittsburgh from Miková, a village in what is now Slovakia, during the early 1920s; the couple raised their children in the Ruthenian Catholic tradition, introducing an influence that shaped Warhol’s art throughout his career.

As Muir explains in the new video, the exhibition approaches Warhol through the lenses of his immigrant background and queer identity, as well as the themes of death and religion evident in his oeuvre.

“He was an artist who really, despite all of his insecurities, tried to be himself,” says Moran in the video. “And part of that was his gay identity and very often a lot of his works explore same-sex desire. And you see that in a number of the early drawings that he does in the ’50s, which often depict men he knew or men he desired.”

The second gallery in “Andy Warhol” centers on one of the art icon’s early works, a 1963 film comprised of close-up shots of sleeping poet—and, briefly, Warhol’s lover—John Giorno. According to Tate’s exhibition guide , Giorno later said that his lover circumvented the homophobia of the art world “by making the movie Sleep into an abstract painting: the body of a man as a field of light and shadow.”

During the 1960s, Warhol began creating brightly colored artworks with stark black outlines screen-printed on top—a style that came to be known as Pop Art. Today, soup cans, Coca-Cola bottles and celebrities painted in multiples of two, four or more are among the artist’s most well-known works.

“Most of these works were produced in the early part of the 1960s at the artist’s first home on Lexington Avenue,” the curators tell the Guardian , “not the Silver Factory, as people imagine.”

Warhol established the factory—his art studio and social hub—in 1963. Covered in silver paint and foil, the site won fame as the place where the artist and his assistants produced a significant number of paintings and films.

“With a lot of Warhol’s work, you don’t know how involved he actually was, because he had his assistants and the whole idea of the Factory was that there was no single hand,” Hirshhorn Museum curator Evelyn C. Hankins told Smithsonian magazine ’s Megan Gambino in 2012.

Andy Warhol

This situation changed in 1968, when writer Valerie Solanas shot Warhol after accusing him of stealing her manuscript. The wound nearly killed the artist, and in doing so, led to the demise of the factory’s open-door policy. Warhol’s mental and physical health suffered for the rest of his life.

“Despite the trauma of the event, he agreed to pose for photographer Richard Avedon and once compared the stitches of his chest to a Yves Saint Laurent dress,” writes Tate in the exhibition guide .

During the ’70s, Warhol began painting portraits commissioned by wealthy clients, in addition to series such as Mao , Hamer and Sickle , and Skull . He also funded Interview magazine, a publication still active today.

One of Warhol’s series from the decade, titled Ladies and Gentlemen , features portraits of African American and Latinx drag queens and transgender women. Little was known about the subjects of the paintings when they were first created, but research highlighted in the exhibition is now revealing their stories.

The last artwork in Tate’s retrospectiv is Sixty Last Suppers , a large-scale work based on a cheap reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper . A copy of the mural hung in the kitchen of Warhol’s childhood home.

Sixty Last Suppers was one of the last pieces Warhol created. In 1987, the 58-year-old artist died of cardiac arrest after undergoing gallbladder surgery.

“He could have gotten [the surgery] scheduled and done earlier, had he been more preventative about his health,” Jose Diaz, a curator at the Andy Warhol Museum, told History.com ’s Sarah Pruitt in 2018. “But until the end, he avoided hospitals. He was always nervous about getting sick. I think death always made him nervous, but of course, having almost died once really escalated that.”

A Handy Visitor Guide to Tate Modern

March 13, 2020 by Aura Originals in Museums

About the Museum

Are you a fan of modern and contemporary art? A visit to London is not complete without seeing the most popular modern and contemporary art gallery in the world: Tate Modern . Part of the Tate family , - which also includes Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool, and Tate St Ives - Tate Modern hosts a treasury of unmissable international and influential modern art. With artworks dating only as far back as 1900, it's difficult to imagine how sad and empty London's modern art scene must have been before this place opened.

Did you know that this art gallery is the UK's most-visited attraction ? Tate Modern, in fact, has recently overtaken the renowned and classic British Museum, welcoming more than 5.7 million visitors through its doors each year, which is approximately equal to the population of Finland. Not just limited to artwork by artists like Dalí, Picasso and Pollock, Tate Modern also contains a permanent collection of performance, photography, film, installation, and live art exhibits that is worth seeing.

General Info

Dominating the river at Bankside, Tate Modern is not just an art gallery but also a piece of art and modernity itself. This incredible building presents a combination of the raw and the refined, of the industrial space and of the impressive contemporary architecture. Before entering the building, look at the façade, and you will notice that the structure looks like a real industry, but if you walk around the corner, you will be surprised by many little bricks of the Switch House that create illusionary effects on the visitors. Once you are in, head downstairs and take a moment to wander around this fascinating place; a unique and unforgettable energy will capture you and guide you from the Turbine Hall (the heart of the building) up to the top floor galleries.

A recent history…but with fragments from the past

The gallery was founded in 1897, as the National Gallery of British Art . It was then renamed Tate Gallery after the magnate Henry Tate , who contributed to the foundation of the collection. Initially, the Tate collection was held in the current building occupied by Tate Britain, but after the creations of Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives, the decision was made to establish a new gallery specifically for modern and international art, called Tate Modern .

Sitting in front of St Paul's Cathedral and linked to it by the extraordinary Millennium Bridge, Tate Modern opened its doors in 2000 . The site that was chosen as the home for the new gallery was the disused, imposing Bankside Power Station . An original and unconventional site for a gallery, don't you think? Designed after World War II by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (who also created the classic red telephone box), the building was successfully transformed and converted by Swiss Herzog & de Meuron . This partnership oversaw again an extension project years later, consisting of the opening of the Tanks in 2012 and the creation of the Blavatnik Building (formerly known as the Switch House) in 2016.

Planning your visit

Despite the fact that it is one of the top three tourist attractions in the UK, there is no bad time to visit Tate Modern. However, if you want to admire the collections without hustle and bustle, don't bother going there on Saturdays or on Bank holidays, in order to have the best experience.

How to get there?

Find here the best way to reach Tate Modern, located at the following address: Bankside, SE1 9TG . It is extremely easy to get there.

The best way to travel in London is by using a contactless or an Oyster card . Oyster, which can be bought online or from a ticket machine at any Underground station, permits you to get on the Underground, DLR, Overground, some riverboats and the iconic red London buses.

The common way to get to the museum is by tube. Therefore, have a look at the tube map and hop on the London Underground, getting yourself to Southwark, a station served by the grey Jubilee line. Once you have passed through the ticket turnstile, follow the signs telling you exactly which direction to take and you'll find yourself on Blackfriars Road. Now walk in Blackfriars Road for a few minutes until you have reached the riverside. Turn right and keep walking for four-five minutes until you will see the imposing Tate at your right. You can also use Blackfriars, St Paul's and London Bridge stations to reach it.

If you are comfortable with the use of London buses, you can reach easily the proximity to Tate Modern via routes 45, 63 and 100 (which stop on Blackfriars Bridge Road), 381 (which stops on Southwark Street) and 344 (which stops on Southwark Bridge Road).

If you prefer to enjoy the weather, rent a bike at Cycle Hire Docking Stations, which are located on New Globe Street and Southwark Street.

· By train:

If you prefer to reach the museum by train instead, you will not find it difficult. The nearest station is Blackfriars railway station, which is a three-minute walk away from the South exit and five minutes from the North one.

You can also catch riverboat services to Bankside Pier, which is just outside Tate Modern.

Reaching Tate Modern by car is very complicated; with streets lined, parking meters and residents' parking bays, car parking close to the Tate can be challenging. However, there is a car parking, London Vintry Thames Exchange, which is 15 minutes' walk away.

Entering Tate Modern

Did you know that Tate Modern has several entrances ? The main one may be the Turbine Hall entrance (on Holland Street), which has a ramp to Level 0 of the gallery. The other two main ways to enter the museum are by the River Entrance (on Queen's Walks) which has lift access to all floors in the Boiler House and Level 1, as well as an entry for wheelchairs, prams and buggies, and by the Switch House entrance (on Sumner Street). Remember that the Tate Modern building is divided into two sections: the Nathalie Bell Building and the Blavatnik Building that are connected on Level 0 through the Turbine Hall, the bridges on levels 1 and 4.

Opening and closing times

You can visit the collections of Tate Modern every day from 10 a.m to 6 p.m. However, if you are interested in having a different visit, head to Tate on Friday and Saturday nights when it is open until 10 p.m. You will find it closed only 24 th , 25 th and 26 th December, but on 1 st January will be open as usual on all other days of the year.

Admission fees

Tate Modern will not cost you a penny to enter. This means that you can visit its permanent collections whenever you prefer and can drop in for just having a quick look at your favourite piece. However, we cannot say the same for special and fancy exhibitions that normally need to be booked in advance. Tickets may cost up to £22, but some discounts are available. If you are a student, a job seeker, a disabled person, you will pay around £20. Under 12s go free (up to 4 per family adult), and children that are over 12 but under 18 will pay £5 if accompanied by an adult.

Accessibility

Tate Modern aims to provide a range of accessible facilities to help you enjoy the visit entirely. It offers enlarged print gallery plans, large print guides for blind or partially impaired visitors and BSL talks to discover works on display in the permanent collection and the special exhibitions for deaf or hearing-impaired visitors. They are also available free blind touch tours, consisting of some two-three dimensional works that can be explored by touch and by other factors, and audio-described tours that explore works on display in the collections and exhibitions. If you are interested in, you need to book them in advance. If needed, it is possible to borrow wheelchairs and mobility scooters, but please book in advance giving at least 24hours notice. In addition, another good news is that guide dogs, hearing dogs and assistance dogs are welcome in the gallery. You just need to advise a member of staff.

Exploring the Collection

To explore modern and contemporary art may be complicated for first-visitors or for who is unfamiliar with Tate's collection and with this type of arts. But don't worry, we'll guide you through. It is important to say that Tate Modern regularly hosts record-breaking exhibitions that attract many people to the South Bank. However, its ever-changing free display of modern masterpieces remain the main attraction. Some of the top artworks to discover include the colourful The Snail by Henri Matisse, the unmissable Black on Maroon by Mark Rothko, the magnetic Babel by Cildo Meireles, the famous Fountain by Marcel Duchamp, The End of the Twentieth Century by Joseph Beuys, the impressive Untitled (Gharda ïa) by Kader Attia, the darkest black of all times featuring Ishi's Light by Anish Kapoor, one of Pablo Picasso's Bust of a Woman , SalvadorDalì's fascinating Lobster Telephone is a great work to enlight your social media feed, and last but not least Claude Monet's Water-Lilies should not be missed! Unfortunately, if you are looking to see the moving Weeping Woman by Pablo Picasso and the disorienting To a Summer's Day 2 by Bridget Riley they are not on display at the moment but you can listen to their stories on Aura app.

The recommended visiting time is around three hours, but you may need more time for discovering the collections in their entirety. However, if you have a short time and you don't want to miss any fundamental artwork to understand the popularity of the museum, have a look at our tours . Tate Modern: Express Tour consists of a selection of masterpieces chosen for all of the visitors that can spend a limited time at the museum, If you have only one hour is thought to offer a general idea of the collections and Tate Modern: The Ultimate Tour is designed to guide you through all the major unmissable masterpieces of the museum.

Watch GEOFF TATE Perform QUEENSRŸCHE Classics In New Orleans During 2024 Tour

The Bayou Rock Show !   YouTube channel has uploaded video of former QUEENSRŸCHE singer Geoff Tate performing on March 23 at the House Of Blues in New Orleans, Louisiana. Check out the clips below.

In a recent interview with Finland's Chaoszine , Tate spoke about what it has been like to celebrate the 35th anniversary of QUEENSRŸCHE 's classic "Operation: Mindcrime" album on tour in 2023. He said: "At first I was sort of, do I want to go out and tour this record? And in retrospect, I'm very happy I did. Because I've gone out on the 30th anniversary, and now it's the 35th anniversary, and it does take me a while to get everywhere in the world. And we try to take it to places where smaller towns and cities, where people can come and see the show and not have to travel a long distance. And I like that. I like being close to the audience and in a smaller venue where people can feel it more and they can see the look on your face when you're performing. It just seems so much more personal."

He continued:  "The record, to me, is a very personal record. It's about the transition of this guy who goes through a lot of challenges and heartbreak. And I try to portray that with the performance as well. And if you're in a big giant place, I don't think people pick up on that. They don't see it that way. And so I like the smaller venues where people get to see that and feel it. But I love performing the record and I'm happy that all these different promoters around the world asked for it, 'cause I probably wouldn't do it if they hadn't asked for it."

Joining Tate in his backing band at some of his recent shows were James Brown on guitar, Amaury Altmayer on guitar, Jack Ross on bass and Danny Laverde on drums.

In August 2023, Tate told Mike Hsu of the 100 FM The Pike radio station that he was "on the second round of writing" his autobiography.

Last month, Geoff , who celebrated his 65th birthday in January, embarked on a co-headlining tour with VANDENBERG , the band led by former WHITESNAKE guitarist Adrian Vandenberg .

In April 2014, Tate and QUEENSRŸCHE announced that a settlement had been reached after a nearly two-year legal battle where the singer sued over the rights to the QUEENSRŸCHE name after being fired in 2012.

Tate was replaced in QUEENSRŸCHE by former CRIMSON GLORY singer Todd La Torre .

In the summer of 2022, Tate underwent an aortic valve replacement at the Universitäts-Herzzentrum Freiburg-Bad Krozingen (University Heart Center Freiburg) in Bad Krozingen, Germany.

An Artist’s Response to a Racist Mural Walks a Fine Line

Activists urged Tate Britain to take an offensive artwork from 1927 off its walls, but the museum instead commissioned Keith Piper to create a response.

Two large screens, installed in a darkened gallery show a close-up of a painting on one side, and a man and a woman in conversation on the other.

By Alex Marshall

Reporting from London

For nearly 100 years, a 55-foot-long mural was the backdrop to a high-class restaurant at Tate Britain. As diners quaffed fine wine and ate expensive dishes, they could glance at the painting by Rex Whistler depicting a hunting party riding through a fantastical landscape.

Few visitors to the London art museum appeared to notice two small sections of Whistler’s scene, each taking up just a few inches: one depicting a white woman, wearing a billowing dress and bonnet, dragging a Black boy by a rope, as the boy’s unclothed, terrified mother watches from a tree; the other showing the same boy, shackled by a collar, running behind a cart.

It was only in 2020, after George Floyd’s murder and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, that antiracism campaigners highlighted those sections on social media and demanded the mural’s removal. Soon, Tate shuttered the restaurant, and administrators began agonizing over what to do about the painting, titled “The Expedition in Pursuit of Rare Meats.”

On Tuesday, their solution went on display when Tate Britain reopened the ornate room containing the work. Rather than diners, the mural now surrounds a large video work by the Black British artist Keith Piper that aims to highlight and explain Whistler’s racist imagery. Chloe Hodge, the exhibit’s curator, said Piper’s work would be on display for around a year.

With this new presentation, Tate Britain is trying to balance the demands of activists, who want offensive artworks removed from view, and conservative politicians and art enthusiasts, many of whom want museums to avoid any hint of “woke” posturing. But in steering a middle course between those positions, Piper said, he knew that he and the museum could annoy both sides.

“A lot of people said this is a poisoned chalice,” Piper said.

Called “Viva Voce” after the Latin name used for college oral exams in Britain, Piper’s 22-minute, two-screen film dramatizes an imagined conversation between Whistler (played by Ian Pink) and a university lecturer (Ellen O’Grady). In the film’s first half, the academic questions Whistler about the history of the mural, which the artist completed in 1927. The mood switches suddenly when she points to Whistler’s depiction of the Black mother hiding in a tree.

“Who is this?” the lecturer demands. “Oh, just a bit of humor,” Whistler replies.

The lecturer has more questions for Whistler: about the racist depictions of Black people in other artworks he produced, and about the treatment of ethnic minorities in 1920s Britain.

In the video, Whistler is confused by the line of questioning. “This is all becoming rather unsavory,” he says: “I thought you wanted to discuss my work.”

In Britain, discussions around problematic artworks have tended to focus less on an artist’s motivations and societal influences, and more on whether a sculpture or painting should be on display at all. But Whistler’s mural, which is painted directly onto the museum walls, is protected under British heritage laws, meaning Tate Britain could not easily remove or alter it, even if its administrators had wanted to. And last year, Britain’s Conservative government published guidance that said museums must “retain and explain” problematic statues or artworks that are part of a building.

Even so, some art critics and members of Tate’s own young and diverse staff urged the museum to hide the mural behind a screen.

Hodge, the curator, said that she chose Piper to respond to Whistler’s mural because she felt he would “engage deeply” with the original painting and wouldn’t produce “something reactionary.” She added that she expected the work to divide opinion. “We can’t commission work that’s going to do everything for everybody,” Hodge said: “This is Keith’s own artistic response at the end of the day.”

For decades, Piper — a founder of the Blk Art Group , a collective of Black artists formed in 1980s England — has explored issues of racism and slavery in his art. In his 1996 video work “ Go West Young Man ,” a father and son discuss racist stereotypes; “ The Coloureds’ Codex ,” a fake historical artifact Piper created in 2017, features jars of black, brown and cream paint to represent the ways that plantation owners classified and controlled enslaved people.

Zehra Jumabhoy, an art history lecturer at the University of Bristol, said that she was surprised when Tate Britain chose Piper for the commission because “his early work was so angry.” If the museum had wanted to avoid inflaming tensions around the mural, there were safer options, she added.

Yet for some artists, Piper was the obvious choice. Hew Locke, the prominent Guyanese British artist , said that Piper’s art had the bravery, historical rigor and occasional humor needed for the high-profile commission. Piper was “his own man,” Locke said, and was not out to please anyone but himself.

In an interview at Tate Britain’s cafe, Piper said that he had never eaten in the restaurant space where his work is now on show — “It was too expensive!” he said — and so hadn’t seen the mural before the uproar.

But he had not been shocked to learn that there was racist imagery on Tate Britain’s walls, he said — such stereotypical figures were once commonplace in British art. What had surprised him, though, was how long the museum took to do something about the mural. While delving into the institution’s archives, Piper said, he found visitor letters dating from the 1970s that complained about the painting.

Though the way Whistler had portrayed Black people was unacceptable, Piper said, he didn’t agree with those who had urged Tate Britain to remove the mural or hide it behind a screen. “My argument is, by leaving it up, it becomes an important witness to history, and by countering it, we learn things and we hear things, that we may not have heard before,” he said. “That’s the important role of the arts and of museums.”

After the interview, Piper walked through into Tate Britain’s newest gallery to make some final checks on “Viva Voce.” He chatted briefly with Hodge, who said that some other Tate Britain staff members had come by to see the piece. Although they liked it, she said, some had expected the film to be “more condemnatory of Rex Whistler.”

Piper looked surprised. “Isn’t it condemnatory?” he asked.

Hodge paused for a moment. “Well,” she said, “there’s always two sides.”

An earlier version of this article misstated the title of Keith Piper’s artwork. It is “Viva Voce,” not “Vice Voce.” An earlier version of a picture caption with this article misidentified the museum housing the Rex Whistler and Keith Piper works. It is Tate Britain, not Tate Modern.

Can we talk about Tate? The ‘manosphere’ in Australian schools

The Australian government is spending $2.3m to address ‘manfluencers’ like Andrew Tate.

tate to tate tour

Young fans of self-styled “manfluencers” like Andrew Tate, currently facing charges including rape in a Romanian court, are increasingly bringing misogynist views into Australian schools, leaving other children, teachers and parents searching for answers.

In response, the Australian government is offering 3.5 million Australian dollars ($2.3m) in grants in a trial aimed at tackling “harmful gender stereotypes perpetuated online”.

Keep reading

Influencer andrew tate can be extradited to the uk after romanian trial, from ‘the war room’ to romania, what’s andrew tate’s appeal, as he awaits trial, andrew tate continues to influence romanian boys.

The manosphere’s reach into Australian schools has gotten so bad that some Australian teachers are quitting their jobs, according to a recent study published by Monash University in Melbourne.

The Monash researchers found that students were openly expressing “male supremacist” views in class.

One teacher says a student told her “I hate women”, while another said boys as young as 13 were made “sexual moaning noises” in her class.

“People are crying out for what to do,” Naomi Barnes, a senior lecturer in the School of Teacher Education and Leadership at the Queensland University of Technology, told Al Jazeera.

A former teacher who now lectures aspiring teachers, Barnes says that teachers and parents have come to her asking what to do about the ideas peddled by people like Tate, and how to discuss them with their children,

Drawing on her research on how misinformation from bad faith actors spreads, Barnes developed guidelines she’s used in her own classrooms.

But she acknowledges it is not easy.

“Andrew Tate has already given them all the comebacks,” she said, noting how Tate tries to use arguments of free speech in response to critics, even when what is being said is not true, and potentially harmful.

She encourages parents and teachers to be prepared to listen and to try to understand what a child is trying to say.

Young people may be more likely to respond when a conversation is brought up by a trusted adult, Barnes adds, including on questions like what it “means to be a part of a fair and just society”.

In her classrooms, she tries to “open up a space where students feel comfortable to tell me what they’re really thinking”.

Instead of telling students their ideas are wrong, she asks them to explain their thinking.

“Be careful. Think through what you said,” she advises, as well as telling them, “You’ve taken a group of people’s humanity away.”

‘He has your children’

Currently facing charges of rape, human trafficking and being part of an organised crime group, Tate’s particular brand of toxic masculinity has attracted some 9 million followers on X, and billions of views on TikTok and YouTube.

A former kickboxer, Tate gained notoriety after he was removed from the United Kingdom’s version of the Big Brother reality television show after a video showing him attacking a woman emerged. He then turned his attention to social media, where bans from major platforms have done little to dampen his popularity.

“You can listen to 20 hours of Andrew Tate, and not hear anything misogynistic. But his fans listen to hundreds of hours. And these things cohere together into a narrative that he’ll never say in one soundbite,” explained author and senior lecturer Tyson Yunkaporta.

Yunkaporta’s most recent book Right Story, Wrong Story delves into the spread of disinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking to high school students late last year he says he asked them to “put your hands up, who’s into Andrew Tate?”

“Almost all of the boys. And surprisingly, more than half of the girls put their fists in the air [and] cheered,” Yunkaporta told Al Jazeera.

Yunkaporta says the English teachers he spoke to from the school were aware of Tate’s influence.

“English teachers are the best with staying on top of the problematic discourses that infect the world,” he said.

But he noted some of the other teachers had no idea who Tate was.

“He’s in the top five most influential people on the planet right now. And he has your children,” he told them.

But it is not only schools where followers of the manosphere are making themselves known.

Sharna Bremner, the founder of End Rape on Campus Australia, says similar ideas are now “flowing onto university campuses”.

an empty classroom with signs that say 'love' and 'laugh above the white board

And Bremner says it’s not just students who are sharing Tate’s views in class.

“It’s something that people are hearing from their classmates or sometimes even from their tutors,” she told Al Jazeera.

Homegrown misogyny

While much of the recent focus has been on Andrew Tate , who is currently awaiting trial in Romania and extradition to the United Kingdom, the ideas he is spreading are hardly new to Australia, which has long struggled with sexism and gendered violence.

“Manfluencers or manosphere-type” influencers “have been around forever”, said Barnes, who thinks Tate will inevitably be replaced by someone else.

In recent years, sexual abuse and domestic violence have attracted significant discussion in Australia, something Bremner attributes to the “Rosie Batty effect”.

Batty became a prominent advocate against domestic violence after her 11-year-old son Luke Batty was murdered by his father. She was named Australian of the Year in 2015.

But the problems have persisted, including in Australia’s parliament where reports of widespread sexism led to protests across the country in 2021 and efforts to address gender inequality in Australia continue to be met with resistance.

Last month, Australian senator Matt Canavan referenced Tate in response to new data on the gender wage gap in Australia. “I’m sick and tired of this bulls***,” Canavan, a member of the Nationals party, told reporters.

“Young men in particular feel like they are now being discriminated against and that’s why they are going to watch the likes of Andrew Tate.”

Minister for Families and Social Services Amanda Rishworth described Canavan’s comments as “dangerous”.

“Linking Australia’s first major report on the gender pay gap to influencers like Andrew Tate who glorify violence against women is unacceptable,” she said.

“By contrast, we’re investing 3.5 million [Australian dollars; $2.28m] to counter harmful gender stereotypes perpetuated online as part of our record funding to address family, domestic and sexual violence,” Rishworth, a member of the centre-left Labor government, added.

Bremner, whose campaigning has led to recent reforms in how Australian universities address sexual violence, says there are signs of improvement in government funding models.

After years of funding going to “awareness raising” morning teas, she says there is now “greater recognition in Australia of the need for evidence-based programmes”.

But, she says, there’s a long way to go.

“We haven’t yet got to a point where Australia is willing to have the really hard conversations that we need to have on the drivers of gendered violence,” she said.

“I also think there is an enormous amount of backlash, and Andrew Tate is almost the poster boy for that backlash,” she adds.

For Barnes, one place where these conversations should take place is in social studies classes like “civics and citizenship”.

But she notes this is also “one of the most under-resourced subject areas in the whole of the Australian curriculum”.

Barnes says such classes offer opportunities to talk through the “dangerous ideas” teenagers are often drawn to.

She acknowledges she herself regrets the Evangelical Christian preachers she followed in her teenage years.

Drawing on her experiences, Barnes encourages parents and teachers to help children think through what they’re saying fully, and help them find ways to express themselves that do not “render a whole group of people inhuman”.

Tour group of 33 stranded kayakers, including children, rescued from cave on Tennessee lake

tate to tate tour

A group of 33 kayakers consisting of adults and children were saved after being stranded inside a cave on a Tennessee lake, according to authorities.

The Haletown Volunteer Fire Department responded to the Nickajack Cave Wildlife Area near Chattanooga on Monday around 8:42 p.m. for "a mass water rescue," the department said in a Facebook post.

When the volunteer firefighters arrived, they were helped by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), Puckett EMS and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office in rescuing the kayakers.

"The tour group had become stranded in the high winds and choppy waters forming ahead of today's storm," according to the volunteer firefighters' Facebook post.

The kayakers were on tour with a private organization, the TWRA told USA TODAY on Wednesday in an email. They became "stranded on a bank" due to the "extremely high winds," the agency added.

How did the 33 kayakers become stranded?

The Nickajack cave tour group departed from the Macedonia Road boat ramp earlier Monday evening, paddling across the lake to the Nickajack cave, the TWRA said in a news release.

During their tour, "harsh conditions and high winds quickly challenged the kayakers," prompting few of them to enter the water, the agency said.

Once the entire group made it to shore near the Nickajack cave, they called for emergency assistance, according to the TWRA's release. Emergency responders, including the TWRA and Haletown Volunteer Fire, tried using a boat to rescue the kayakers, the independent state agency said.

"However, the vessel was small, and it was capsized by winds before disconnecting from the trailer," the TWRA said in the release. "TWRA officers were able to ferry kayakers to shore, where they were tended to by medical personnel."

No injuries resulted from the incident, according to Haletown Volunteer Fire and the TWRA.

'Life jackets were a key safety factor," TWRA boating officer says

All 33 kayakers were wearing life jackets, which may have saved their lives, according to the TWRA.

“This is a great example of the importance of life jackets," TWRA Boating Officer David Holt said in a news release. "With water temperatures in the mid-50s and high windspeeds, life jackets were a key safety factor.”

In TWRA's email to USA TODAY, the agency wanted to "remind all boaters of the importance of wearing a life jacket, checking weather and water conditions, and filing a float plan (letting someone know when you’ll be home and where you’re going)."

Baby Tate weighs in on social media saying she resembles North West

  • Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

According to some social media users, Baby Tate looks like North West, the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. On Tuesday (March 26), the “I Am” hitmaker posted a TikTok that was met with hilarious reactions.

The comments ranged from “I swear I thought this was North” to “Tell me why I thought this was Miss Westy,” a reference to the 10-year-old’s self-coined moniker on Kanye’s “ TALKING .” Taking to Twitter, Tate wrote, “OKAY I GET IT.” A separate tweet read, “They [are] calling me Norther Wester.”

The post eventually made its way to Hollywood Unlocked today (March 27), where users had varied opinions. “I’m not in the mood for this, this morning,” the top reply read. Another person stated, “I looked North and West… still didn’t see it.” Elsewhere, media personality Weezy WTF claimed, “This look like Northie but [as a] Black mom.”

Responding to people’s remarks online, Tate shared, “The IG blogs have found the original tweet but forgot to add this one to their post, so now the old [people] from Facebook think I’m the one comparing myself to a 10-year-old instead of the 200 people who said it in my TikTok comments. I hate the internet!”

Musically, the artist has been riding on the success of her viral song “Grip.” The record initially appeared on October 2023’s Baby Tate Presents - Sexploration: The Musical . She’s also working on her next album, which is expected to debut some time in 2024.

Earlier this year, Tate spoke to REVOLT about her forthcoming LP, the creative process behind it, and more. She explained, “Musically, it’s almost done. I have to get back in the studio after the tour to finish some things and add some things. But, that’s just the first part. Music has to get created, and then visuals, and then plans, marketing and all types of things. If we’re talking percentages, I’m about 45 percent there.”

Tate confirmed, “The album is coming this year; I hope to dive a bit deeper into some of my other talents, such as acting and voice acting. I’m just going to continue making amazing music.”
