Tate Britain & Tate Modern Reviews

Prices are extortionate for the special gallery viewings and was incredibly crowded when I went. No organisation from the staff to ensure efficient customer flow in and out of the gallery.

Museum that combines fantastic works and devotes an entire gallery to the exhibition of Master Turner's works. It has a shop, restaurant and cafeteria.

Had the most amazing time , the building is so beautiful

Always something to see and do, lovely members area, well stocked bookshop

William Turner's collection is very beautiful, in general the museum is beautiful and full of works. I recommend it to everyone even though I think the national gallery and the British museum are a little more valid

Worth coming often. Tend to go to the Tate Modern usually but this has some great exhibitions. Also not so crowded much more sedate.
The architecture is great white walls, winding stairs. Recommended.
Food and tea not so good but ok.

Fantastic gallery to look around. I spent a couple of hours there. I really enjoyed the Turner collection.

This museum is so good , it eclipses the one on Bankside ( Tate Modern ) for its quiet atmosphere and excellent collections and special exhibits.

The Tate Britain holds a wonderful array of paintings from different eras and the gallery is usually not too busy. The facilities on site are also very good.

What a brilliant place, good presentation and excellent interpretation. And it's all free!

It's very big.
It has different themes of modern art.
It also has an outside area where you can see the outside it gives you a nice view of London.
It's very clean and the staff is very friendly.
It's great for art lovers and for people who are looking for a free view of London.

One of the best and most interesting museums in London.

One of the first museums to visit in London. Tate has two buildings in London, and if Tate Modern is a museum of contemporary art, Tate Britain displays contemporary art, focusing on collections up to modern times.
Even a permanent exhibition that can be enjoyed for free is a must-see collection, including the famous Turner collection.
Planned exhibitions held several times a year are wonderful because they read more about the artist and the times. However, it is recommended that you make an online reservation beforehand because popular exhibitions may not be available at the desired time of the day.
On the first Friday of every month, it opens as a late at tate until 21:30, and DJs enter and hold events, stages, and workshops throughout the building in a lively atmosphere.

Make sure to see it. Wonderful display of British art from 16th century to present. Far better and more relaxing atmosphere than in other galleries.

Give yourself time when you visit the Tate. There's so much beautiful art to take in, it's no good if you rush.

We enjoyed a good 2 hours here visiting a major photographic exhibition which was brilliant and thought provoking.

Small but full of interesting art. A perfect start for a full day of visiting the city, as it's close to Westminster.

One of the few reasons for staying in this country.

Some wonderful, some strange, some classical: there are so many exhibits with a huge variety on show. The fact it's free entry for all is brilliant allowing access for anyone interested

Amazing museum! Free entrance, good facilities and very easy to find it.

I had a lovely walk round the Tate Britain, enjoying the breath taking art and creativity of such talent souls.

Great but I think the prices in the restaurant are a bit expensive!

Check out Tate lates. A great way to get a different perspective on art

Beautiful collection, beautiful building, free internet. No air conditioning

One of my favourite places in London. It's just the right size, the quality of the paintings is amazing and varied so that it never really gets boring. I would consider spending no less than 2 hours here. The main room alone is worth a visit to this museum.

Bonus points because it's way less crowded than other top attractions in the city, for example the more central (and overhyped?) Tate Modern. This makes the atmosphere much more relaxed and pleasant.

The temporary expositions are a bit of a hit or miss, but sometimes they end up being positive surprises.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit but feel that signage could be improved to make it easier to navigate the galleries.

Great exclusive exhibition of Van Gogh Britain in March 2019.

Very fine collection of art - don't miss out the Turner collection!

Visited to see the Van Gogh exhibition and it did not disappoint. A fantastic insight into this troubled man. Plenty of well known pieces on view. The rest of the gallery is also worth looking at, and is free of charge.

Just a nice afternoon experience, there's always something interesting to see, even if you don't pay for exhibitions.

Interesting gallery. Most of it very modern works of art. Not to everyone's taste. Visit if you like modern sculpture and machinery as an art form.

Amazing museum, incredible art collection, the most amazing J.M.W Turner collection all free of charge

The gallery is amazing. Some of my favourite paintings are there and the section dedicated to Turner is a must see.

To pass the time it is very entertaining, there are incredible paintings and sculptures. There are rooms with screenings of short films by the artists. Admission is free.

Loved the exhibitions and the design of the museum itself

One of my favourite art galleries/museum in London.

Tate Britain (known from 1897 to 1932 as the National Gallery of British Art and from 1932 to 2000 as the Tate Gallery) is an art museum on Millbank in the City of Westminster in London. It is part of the Tate network of galleries in England, with Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives. It is the oldest gallery in the network, having opened in 1897. It houses a substantial collection of the art of the United Kingdom since Tudor times, and in particular has large holdings of the works of J. M. W. Turner, who bequeathed all his own collection to the nation. It is one of the largest museums in the country.

The Tate Britain is home to some classic pieces of art. They usually have 3 or 4 interesting exhibitions going on each month. A good idea to book online if you want to see a particular one. Otherwise, you're free to walk in wonder around and take in the history and the culture!

Simply fabulous place to spend quality time with a friend.

Free wonderful exhibits. It is a space where you breathe art!

Museum with works of modern art by British artists.

A very good selection of art is included in the free section. There are always some excibitions that require payment. I also like the electronic option to buy copies of the paintings that get delivered to your home.

Awesome venue
Great location
Worth a visit...

Easy to follow maps - Beautiful pieces of art. Lovely place to spend an afternoon or two

Just a brilliant gallery. Amazing collection, and a serene place to visit. And it is free.

Visited with my college and spent 4 hours looking round the museum, the art work was beautiful as was the building itself.

Awesome museum of British art from the 19th century to 21st century.

Free art gallery located in Pimlico, nice place to get some culture or stop for scones and tea.

A brilliant variety of exhibitions and access to so many areas is completely free. I came on this occasion to see the Don McCullin photography exhibition and it was absolutely excellent.

Brilliant time at the Van Gogh exhibit and great student discount

Marvellous collection of paintings and sculptures plus great exhibition space.

I love the stillness and beauty of this space. So many incredible pieces: diversity and inspiration. Perfect. Thank you.

Van Gogh exhibition - very interesting but crowded and stiflingly hot. Wouldn't have missed it though.

The section dedicated to Turner is exciting, not too small, indeed. The rooms are divided by era, the museum is very easy to navigate. Too bad for some paintings placed at the top (perhaps to remember the exhibitions of past centuries? Who knows). In any case, a must, both for enthusiasts and, above all, for scholars.
