The Tate Modern opened in the spring of 2000, and it's located across the Thames River from St. Paul's Cathedral. The building is a converted industrial power station, and it houses a modern art collection from the last 100 years. The museum is controversially displayed by genre - nudes, landscapes, still lifes, and history - rather than by artist and chronological. A taste of what we saw: Monet, Matisse, Cezzane, Picasso, Dali (my favorite), Mondrian, Bacon, Pollock (we just saw the movie!), Warhol, and Beuys. Check out their web site: Tate Modern.
