Enjoy an intimate tour experience at the iconic Tate Modern, home of some of the most innovative artwork of the 19th and 20th centuries! We keep our groups small (no more than 8 guests per tour) so you’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and engage in discussion with our certified guides. This 19th century power plant has been transformed into a cult powerhouse of art, making it a uniquely London cultural experience.
You’ll discuss Mondrian’s groundbreaking geometric canvases and revisit world-famous artists like Picasso and Dali, whose masterpieces during the Spanish Civil War have become touchstones in the history of art. Travel back to the age of Impressionism with works by Claude Monet, then fast-forward to the abstract expressionists and Mark Rothko. Learn about Andy Warhol and Pop Art as you contemplate Marilyn Monroe, then discuss Marcel Duchamp’s controversial “Fountain”, all while asking that eternal question: what makes art, art?
