The Tate Modern Art Gallery in London houses international modern and contemporary art. The building was rebuilt from the structure of the former Bankside Power Station. It opened in 2000 and was expanded in 2009.
As you enter, you are in Turbine Hall --site of the former power station turbines. In 2021, satellite-like objects float above visitors.
