The Tate Modern is an art museum located in a repurposed power plant located on the south side of the Thames. In a sense it complements the collection in the National Gallery in that it specializes in contemporary art, much of it abstract, avant-garde, and experimental. Most of the art didn't particularly appeal to me, but the museum was featuring a special exhibit of surrealists that included some interesting pieces. Here are some of the photos I took while there.
Magritte.
Intricate wire art.
One of the artists featured in the special exhibit was Remedios Varo, whose three pieces did appeal to me.
My daughter-in-law, Bei, had come to London on business and was able to join me during my visit to the Tate Modern, as well as for the activities of the next day. As we were leaving the Tate, I took a photo of her peering out at the city through one of the museum's massive windows.
