Late at the Tate

Last Friday was the monthly Late at the Tate and this was my first visit to the new Switch tower.

It was packed inside when I arrived at 7pm the Tate helpers were certainly doing a good job in directing to all the displays of art.

The Tate Modern holds the countries collection of modern art from the 1900 to the present day.

The new switch tower was opened in June and has 10 floors. On the top floor you get spectacular views of London. You can see some of the photographs I took looking towards St Pauls Cathedral. Plus another looking towards the Shard.

Inside the various floors are the galleries displaying various exhibitions of modern art. It is so vast it was impossible to see everything in the free part.

Below are some of the photographs I took of the various galleries.

More photos can be found on my Flickr account the link is below. Plus a link to my Instagram account. Definitely worth checking out it can get very busy at the weekends.

Thanks to Igerslondon for setting up a meet up in the gallery.
