The Tate Modern is very popular with tourists and in a popular and easily accessible location. Personally, I didn't like the Tate Modern at all, and the must hyped up crack in the floor didn't really live up to expectations. Before arriving I'd heard that some unfortunate people had become casualties because of the crack, so it was a disappointment when I saw it.

The Tate Modern is the home of a modern international and contemporary art. Before I visited the museum I hadn't seen much of ''modern art'', but personally I hated the ''art'' that I saw there a lot. If you are interested in modern art, then this gallery is for you, as it has many exhibits, but it's definitely not somewhere that houses something for everyone.

They do hold workshops, courses, and discussions, so if contemporary art is your thing, you should definitely visit!!

Ok so we all wanted to see what all the fuss was about. 5 must admit the place did not disapoint. we walked across the fantastic millenium bridge to get there and the place was full of happy people getting close to art. when we visitied there was an exhibit that was made of metal, hanging from the roof that you were able to walk through and that was superb, some of the andy warhols are really quite tacky looking in the flesh, but are a must see, like the huge elvis piece. The cafe was over priced and so full we did not bother. Would we go again yes, although it is not really great for very small kids but there were still loads there when we went.

Worth a vist just to see the awesome and iconic installation art that hits the headlines year after year. The Tate Modern is an awe inspiring gallery which is well worth a vist if you are in London for the day. About fifteen minutes walk from the London Eye it can offer a nice injection of culture in to any family day out. Be warned that there are some works of art that will not be appropriate for the younger kids, but ask any of the helpful and very friendly staff about this and they will be happy to help. Prepare to be challenged though by some of the more extreme works, which may stretch the boundaries of what art is in your mind. A challenging gallery that will open your mind as well as giving you space to think.

The tate modern is my favourite art museum in London. Although I do not like the outside very much, I find it a bit gray and drab, but inside the galleries are very impressive indeed. The big hall where you enter (I do tend to enter from the side entrance rather than the side facing the river) is very huge and impressive, and usually houses an impressive work of art. The permanent collection that the Tate has on display is very good and the non permanent exhibitions which change quite frequently are very good also. You should definitely go if youâ¬"ve never been.

The Tate Modern is one the highlights of the museum world of London - even before you go in, itâ¬"s extremely impressive, housed in a converted power station on Londonâ¬"s Southbank. The main turbine hall usually houses a special exhibit which is always fascinating â¬ they have had some amazing exhibitions, including huge slides! And the collections themselves â¬ which are generally free to enter - are no less impressive to wander around. The frequently changing special exhibitions are usually fantastic also, do look up in advance to see what exhibitions are going to be on. A place you simply must visit in London.

â¬¢If you are having a lazy wander along the Southbank, I would highly recommend popping into the Tate and seeing what the latest installation in the turbine hall is, you can then have a look around and check out the free exhibitions within the various rooms that the Tate holds.
If you are heading over specifically to visit the Tate Modern, itâ¬"s advisable to check out the website first to make sure they actually have something in the Turbine Hall, as sometimes they are preparing for the next.
I would also suggest that you donâ¬"t eat in the Tatâ¬"s own restaurants or bars, but try somewhere along the Southbank itself.

I was a little disappointed by my visit to the Tate Modern Museum. Timing is crucial and unfortunately we went late on a Friday afternoon- being one of the last attractions to close its doors it does attract a rush hour around 4pm. We didnâ¬"t leave ourselves sufficient time to stroll through the different quarters and consequently spent the hour briskly walking from room to room dodging the swarms of people and trying not to miss out too many rooms. The audio-visual exhibitions were quite stunning and well worth seeing, and we literally stumbled on some fantastic interactive exhibits. Give the audio-guide a miss unless you are a fanatic or always use them- although it is quite a funky gizmo it takes 5 minutes just to key in the exhibit number.

The Tate Modern is a very pleasant way to spend 90 minutes. The building is quite interesting and strongly recommend you start on the top floor and work down. It is not necessary to view any or every piece of art in a modern museum. The video work is of little interest to some, but great for others. The Tate has a good mix of contemporary styles. It isn't the Guggenheim or MOMA in New York, but it is free and has some nice pieces.

The bridge across the Thames is a work of art in itself and a very nice walk.

Recommend this museum as a pleasant stop on the South Bank.

If you want to see modern art in the UK what is the first place people mention? The tate modern ofcourse and i can see why. I visited the tate modern while studying art and found it very useful. The sheer variety of different art on offer is enough to boggle your mind and is a great place to visit if you require inspiration. I cannot really comment on the exhibitions as they are always changing, but when i have visited they have usualy been very good and don't follow the steriotypical view of modern art - "anyone could have done that".

Huge grey walls tower above you in the entrance hall - my idea of hell. But the views are fantastic. That wonderful pedestrian bridge. The landmark Gherkin building nearby which people actually live in.

You pay to go into exhibitions.

The Tate Modern is one of the shining examples of how a modern art gallery should be done. The ever shifting exhibits in the turbine hall and the fantastic exhibitions make it worth returning again and again, and the free galleries are just as inspiring. One of my favourite places to go for the day in London.

Some interesting pieces here. The multimedia guide (rather than the straight audio) is worth the investment. The 7th floor restaurant and bar - whilst more crowded than the members room - also has excellent views. Worth the climb.

If you are a member of the Tate foundation go to the members' bar on the 5th floor. Never too crowded, better food, and an enormous roof terrace at the back as well as a huge balcony at the front overlooking the Thames. Rarely any screaming kids and never any euroteens with dayglo back packs like the public (pah!) bar upstairs.
