What to Expect

Discover the story of the Tate Modern and how it came to be. This wonderland of modern art was once a gigantic power station, housing huge turbines and boiler rooms within its complex labyrinth. The power plant may have closed but prepare for some electrifying art that will shine a light on some of the world’s most experimental pieces.

Some may shock, some may inspire, but all will leave an impression.

Your Tate Modern private guided tour typically includes:

Salvatore Dali’s ‘Lobster Telephone’ - a surrealist masterpiece.
Pablo Picasso’s ‘Three Dancers’ - a true gem that tells the story of how Picasso's life events influenced his works.
'The Snail’ by Henri Matisse - Discover the art of gouaches découpées
'Marilyn Diptych' by Andy Warhol - A household name for a reason. This is one of the Tate Modern's most iconic works.
Plus so much more. The Tate Modern is filled with grand masterpieces as well as hidden gems, and with a wealth of stories waiting to be discovered.

More Options – This National Gallery Private Tour usually lasts around 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
