Review

If you’re seriously into modern art you already know you’ll like the Tate Modern. It has it all: Stark white rooms, a hushed atmosphere of reverence, tiny explanatory notices to read earnestly.

Still, even if your interest in visiting is perhaps more to do with the café than the pieces themselves I think the Tate Modern is still worth a look.

Modern art may sometimes be baffling but it is always interesting, and I liked that I was never sure what I was going to come across next. I can’t say that I fully understood the miniature television containing an egg, but I’m also not sure that I regret trying.
