Tate Britain & Tate Modern Reviews

The All too Human exhibition was a bit of a mishmash of different paintings. Not sure what the connection was between all the paintings. The Francis Bacon paintings really stood out for me.

The Tate Britain is the original of the brand and feels quite stiff at times. Nonetheless a great place. It houses a collection of modern art and the permanent Turner collection.

Art for all tastes; an excellent class restaurant (obviously you pay for the quality); a bar with self-service; not so big: with a couple of hours, if you don't know about art, you can turn it around, so I didn't have the feeling, that I had in other museums, of stunning, alienation and exhaustion. Then of course: if you know about art and you stop to read all the captions of the whole exhibition then you can also take two full days; but the beauty is just that: you take as long as you want based on what you know!

Saw Don Mcullin photo exhibition. Amazing pics taken over his career. Nice river views.

Took a while to find entrance and staff were rude as the museum closed at the end of the day but the cafe is great and the shop and of course the museum itself would visit again.

Free London museum where you can appreciate the paintings of Pre-Raphaelite artists

Always a delight to visit whether seeing new exhibitions for the first or tenth time. Great restaurant, good coffee

The van Gogh exibition was amazing but there are very few toilets

Beautiful building full of the great paintings and artworks of English history! Important: the Turner collection

Fantastic collection especially if you like Turner or pre-Raphaelites.

So amazing that the museum is free to enter and the staff is very nice, I made sure to leave a donation because i d feel bad otherwise

An eclectic gallery with British artists from XVII century onward. Some really interesting curator choices

It was great here however the coffee isn't the best
I do strongly recommend it

Just brilliant paintings no more said. Love the new pre raph room.

It's a super place to be. Everywhere you turn you see beauty. Just go and see Singer Sargent "Carnation...", and Turner. For sure you'll stop by Ophelia singing in her drawning too. And fine is the building, and the curious restaurant, and those gift at the bookshop from invisible ink pen to the mag you cannot do without.

Loved this museum and felt at home walking through the rooms

Displays antique paintings, such a great place to discover so many beautiful paintings made back in 1700. Plus it s free. I recommend visiting it if you re a fan of art.

Wonderful works of art, really enjoyed looked through the Turner Exhibition. Could spend hours here studying the peices. Lovely building.

A relaxing and enjoyable place to spend a day. Lots of interesting galleries and exhibitions, plus good staff. Little niggle: not enough windows.

Great museum, impressive collection of works by Turner.

Over busy. More interested in making money than allowing people to see art.

Overwhelming. We went to see only the Turners. Nothing like seeing the actual paintings. So worth it

Went to see the William Blake exhibition, absolutely loved it.

Beautiful collections, most of them free. Welcoming staff, great facilities and an atmosphere to learn and stimulate our senses.

Great after hours salon talk in the impressionists exhibition with time for a " private" view...would fo this again and again !

Museum on British art, from the mid-1500s to today. Rooms and halls of statues and paintings. After mediocre and stunted beginnings, to which much of the continent's artists have contributed, from Holbein to van Dick and Canaletto, English art finds its own way in the mid-1700s, as Britain becomes world power. Reynolds, Lawrence, Gainsborough, Turner and Constable are the protagonists of this golden age. Then there are the pre-Raphaelites and in the 1800s more and more artists crowd the scene. Many works document English art until 1910. The years 1920 to 1960 are barely mentioned, with only a few works per decade. A large common space shows some moments of the art of the last 60 years. Reynolds, Constable, Blake and Moore have rooms exclusively dedicated to them. A wing with eight rooms documents Turner's art. An entire day is necessary for a thorough visit.

An impeccable museum a very strong exhibition. As much as it is a distinguised painter Edward Burne Jones, not big appeal to my taste of painting.

Just a great place. Great pictures and friendly staff. Love the place and the coffee is great, especially when you can sit in the sunshine to enjoy it.

If you are an admirer of William Blake this is the place to visit as they have a Permanent/special exhibition room displaying some of his work.

Excellent museum in London, especially the Van Gogh exhibition that was taking place at the time.

Excellent permanent collection with an emphasis on Britain. Plus one or two high quality paid exhibitions and often a sculpture collection in the central space.

Great place to visit if you like modern arts. The restaurant on the top floor was amazing, views to the Thames, good quality of food, staff were very friendly. Would go back again.

Great art gallery (beats it's sister gallery - the Tate Modern). Always enjoy the permanent and the temporary exhibitions.

One of my favourite art galleries with a gorgeous collection of paintings from across the globe. You can easily lose hours in here though sadly seem to have taken my favourite painting from there collection since my last visit

First visit for a few years, absolutely awesome gallery. Highly recommend.

Excellent work and shop with good prices on books. Recommendable.

Great museum with free entrance and an excellent Turner collection

Enjoyed a relaxing stay in an amazing B&B in an imposing 1830s villa in Pimlico then took a pleasant 5 minute stroll to this sea of calm in the heart of the Big Smoke... the pictures are like a Who s Who Guide and loved the live performance art too:-))

Lovely museum, such a great way to spend tge afternoon, excellent collections, and not too crowded which is a massive plus. Easily accessible, polite staff, and a hands down must-see!

So many great paintings! And more sculpture than the British museum, I think.

I went to the Impressionist exhibition, and it was curated really well. The theme of refugee artists who came to London in the 1870s was well-expressed, and the paintings especially by Monet was great. The price, though, was quite high, at More

Amazing gallery, beautiful building. A real cultural icon, don't miss it.

Beautiful gallery. They had an amazing light installation for Diwali outside the building few weeks ago which was utterly stunning.

Art amazing. Venue a bit soleless. Not impressed with cafe.

In summer, in the morning of a pretty rainy day, walking while walking while walking from the Big Ben along the Thames river with a couple, beat out with gallanties as they arrive. As the number of people watching slowly went up, it rained completely when I participated in the day before morning, it was impressive that the beginners made amazing rows.

Just the best
Huge scale, various activities
Personally, I look at the National Gallery.
I enjoyed it comfortably

One of the best collections of British art all the way back to 1540. Need the whole day to really appreciate it all. Worth every minute.

Stra full of works but if you know how to choose exciting

Amazing experience to park directly inside the museum's grounds after reserving a disabled space with them made it possible to visit. Will use again.

The one of my fav.place in London. Not much people, great exhibitions

Too many people in exhibition. End up queuing to see pictures . What's the point of timed entry if you let so many in at the same time? Quite disappointing.

Had the misfortune to visit the exhibition of Fighting History yesterday. What eejit was responsible for this catastrophe? Was seduced in by the wonderful Copley on The death of Major Peirson and the subtitle of the exhibition '250 years of British History Painting'. Completely misleading! Much of it was agit-prop - 'radical history painting', Northern Irish troubles, a whole room dedicated to the miners' strike - or biblical themes, with the final room being just on the deluge. Even those few paintings about British history were a bizarre choice, for example the death of Amy Robsart. Eh? The very few visitors looked as bemused as myself.
I had to regain my equilibrium by going round the permanent British collection - but even here there were imperfections. The early modern rooms simply have an insufficient number of paintings. The Tate has a marvellous collection: please use more of it. At the moment many old favourites have disappeared. The Pre-Raph room was double banked; the same could be done with the earlier centuries.

Entrance is free. You only need to pay if you want to see the special exhibitions.

An incredible place. Free admission, without a doubt, a museum bound to know if you are in London. Many galleries, many new exhibitors, collections ...

If you like a mix of arts... this is the perfect place

A museum that is not among the "forced" to visit in London. It is greatly appreciated with a guided tour. There is a sculpture made with slices of bread that is worth seeing.

Great set up with the social distancing... we ll done made my family feel very safe during our visit to the Year 3 exhibit

Good museum really recommended that usually escapes the plans of tourists because perhaps, his older brother and more modern Tate Gallery shadows him.

Totally worth the visit even for the free exhibitions, you can spend hours here but bring change for the lockers!
