2019: This visit l decided to challenge myself as an artist, especially with visiting a place l know so well.. Or do l?

Today l wanted to go beyond the art on display and see the whole building as a work of art, looking through gaps, looking up, looking down, looking sideways and looking beyond.

Here l am creating a portrait of the Tate, exploring unknown spaces, capturing space in between a busy exhibition, a wall, a corner free from objects. Places l am cut off from, spaces that are private, unaccessible, a sense of restrictions, barriers, cctv, security watching my every move.

What is the Tate beyond being the Guardian of protecting, showing and caring for art collections. The recent photographs is an attempt to capture, express, explore my journey that the Tate took me on.
..........................................................

2018: Can't get enough, always something challenging and stimulating.

When l first came to Tate Britain, it was called Tate gallery. I was 19yrs old in the early 80's and encountered Francis Bacon. It was a disturbing experience as l had never seen art like it so had to leave the exhibition. Of corse as one gets older and discovers more of art and artists, Bacon became an interest.

My feelings are you have to experience what art is for you, so l tend not single out artists , this place is a gem, it has filled me with wonder, intrigue, excitement and fear.

We are all on a journey in life, artists captures a moment of someone else's life experiences, be open, be critical, enjoy or hate, the gallery welcomes you with open arms and it's free!

A leaser of the museums in London I suppose. It is not for tourists on a tight schedule - for that, there is always the National Gallery, the British Museum and the V&A. Being less popular, you get to have so much for space to wander and explore. Quite a large section is free but some sections are restricted to paying guests and members. All exhibits references the British art scene through the centuries.

With many stuning and free exhibiitions it's a must see. That said, it doesn't have the same chill vibe as Tate Modern. There's lots to see, but it is a little touristy. Even when it's very busy, the cafe have odd hours, stopping to serve food after 3pm which I find bizarre considering it's still rammed. The whole place shuts at 6, which is very early. So I would recommend take a couple of hours and go earlier. Between Tate Britain and the V&A, the V&A has more interesting exhibitions generally.

It's quite good. It has some good paintings on it. I noticed many landscapes and animals on the pictures. Also some sexy ladies with long hair and pale skin. Oh, and a cool room dedicated to a pal who used to make special effects for old adventure movies. Nice.

The lesser-known cousin to the Tate Modern - this museum is definitely worth the stop-in. Tate Britain features pretty much only British artists, so you ll find some great collections here, like the JMW Turner collection here is STUNNING! This museum has quite a large body of work and it s housed in a truly beautiful setting. Free entry, as most museums in London are.

I love it here! The Tate Modern is interesting, but I prefer this iteration by far. I can't count how many times I've come back here to wander through the Turner Gallery specifically, which is enchanting, and showcases the many different periods of his art extremely well. The architecture of the building itself is also magnificent and is well worth a look.

Always a pleasure to visit the Tate. The exhibition William Blake interested me a lot but I must admit that more context and explanations of the topics treated would have been appreciable. Indeed, these very special religious themes sometimes call for very specific and less well-known situations. We would have liked to see plaques that were used to make these beautiful engravings.

Fantastic visit today. Really well displayed and excellent social distancing without feeling restricted. Cloakroom did not appear to be open but toilets are as is the bookshop. Do visit but you must book, even for the free visits.

Quite different from the Tate Modern but just as good. There is lots to see and do. Obviously there's the art and sculpture but also activities for the kids and the Art Trolley is always fun and diverting for them.

Fantastic variety of art work, from very modern sculpture to more traditional forms. A great time with friends or family to start interesting conversations or simply appreciate it together. Good for art students or artists to visit to More

Tate Modern seems to get more love and publicity, but I'd rather visit Tate Britain given the choice. A far greater selection of art, there's also something on display for everyone. The BP Walk Through British Art is incredible - great crash course.

A good exhibition on Queer Art, though we were rushed through the last galleries due to them wanting us entirely out of the building a few minutes prior to their actual closing time. A shame, because the primary source descriptions of actual experience seemed compressed at this end, while stretches and suppositions line the notes in the first galleries.
