▲▲▲ Tate Modern
Dedicated in the spring of 2000, the striking museum across the river from St. Paul's
opened the new century with art from the previous one. Its powerhouse collection of Mon-
et, Matisse, Dalí, Picasso, Warhol, and much more is displayed in a converted powerhouse.
Of equal interest are the many temporary exhibits featuring more current, cutting-edge art.
Each year, the main hall features a different monumental installation by a prominent artist.
