Got to love the Tate Modern. Such an iconic space. Whether you like modern art or not will define how long you spend in the galleries but there’s lots of different and interesting things on. Some interactive. It’s worth it just for the iconic architecture… and there is always the interesting cafes sprinkled about the buildings.

An artist friend and I visited the Tate Modern, to see the bold new exhibition of Nigerian art. A brief visit so far, and exhilarating to see, and learn about the different artistic styles, and discover places with so many stories. There's a well-known saying: "Travel broadens the mind". But boy, this art exhibition will blow your mind. We plan to return in a few days, and bring two more friends! I cannot recommend this showcase enough, apart from to say: go then share what you think. For me, it is an homage to a part of the world, where creativity is rich and varied - art, fashion, music, and literature. It is a delight to witness this historic event in London, and share the experience with so many people - young and old, Londoners, visitors, and tourists alike - across all diversity. Previous visitors told me to allow 2 hours. I agree - at least 2, as you'll probably want to take your time to view over 250 works, spread over 4 or so rooms. I look forward to returning more than a couple of times - before it closes in May 2026.

Admission is free, allowing you to enjoy a wide range of modern and contemporary artworks without any cost(the fee is required for special exhibition )From the museum, you can enjoy a beautiful view of St. Paul’s Cathedral across the Thames. There’s also a café on the top floor where you can relax with coffee while taking in the scenery. It’s a must-visit spot in London for art lovers and anyone looking to spend a peaceful afternoon surrounded by creativity and great views.

Overall liked the exhibitions, loved some rooms, disliked others 😂 Although I am not really a fan of modern art, I spent around 4 hours there. I liked most of the themes they chose and appreciated the descriptions of the artworks and artists as it helps to understand what they express, sometimes in very abstract ways. Some modern artist celebrities were underrepresented in the Tate Modern in my opinion, but thankfully they can be seen in other museums in London 😜 I was a bit surprised by certain rooms that had a lot of nudity or sexual aspects, especially because there were many young children with their families around … Concerning the Do Ho Suh temporary exhibition, I’m happy I got a discounted ticket, because the original price was too steep for what I saw, but it was a quick fun expo.

Free entry, but need first to go and find out which exhibition needs ticket, otherwise you will running up and down. The collection was bit too modern for my liking, and the gallery is a bit hard to go between buildings (except level 4). It's different to National Gallery, I tend to spend more time there than at Tate. It's a day tour when you visit London & Tower Bridges, and St Paul Cathedral.
