Tate Modern is the national gallery of international modern art for Britain. Based in a disused power station in the heart of London, Tate Modern was created in 2000 and has since become world renowned as a centre for modern art from around the world.

Modern art is defined as art created since the year 1900, and Tate Modern includes modern British art where it contributes to the story of modern art, so major modern British artists may be found at both Tate Modern and Tate Britain.

The collection at Tate Modern includes all the major modern art movements from Fauvism onwards. It features Picasso and Matisse, Dali, Ernst and Mirò. There are works by Pollock, Naum Gabo and Giacometti and the Seagram Murals of Rothko are displayed in the famous Tate Rothko Room. Pop art has its place, including works of Lichtenstein and Warhol, as does Minimal art and Conceptual art.

Admission to Tate Modern is free for everyone, but as a London Pass customer you will receive the added enjoyment of a free audio-guide to Tate Modern. Listening to the audio-guide as you tour Tate Modern you will learn much more than you would without it.
