I am visiting my sister in England and enjoying the British countryside at the moment. For a mini trip I went to London to see some of my friends and to see arts of course.
Years ago on a conference for museum professionals I saw a presentation on the new site of the Tate Modern. It was sill under construction and I was really excited about visiting it now.
The most interesting part of the building are the Tanks where one can see video works but it is also a place for performances. The Tanks were previously used to store oil when the gallery was a power station. What I love the most is the raw, industrial feel, the curves of the staircase and the metal details.
The exhibitions in the new building are super interactive. You can walk into installations, sit on some of the works, at some point you even have to use flash on your camera to be able to see the something.
You can use a lift or walk to the tenth floor where the view of the city is breathtaking.
