Open today are the underground Tanks at Tate Modern, the world’s first museum galleries
permanently dedicated to live art.
‘These underground chambers are simply
extraordinary spaces.’ The Guardian
Three
underground oil turbines, a remnant of the old power station, form the
foundation of new iconic building to be added to the south of the existing Tate Modern gallery.
Designed by Herzog & de Meuron,
it will present a striking combination of the raw and the refined, found
industrial spaces and twenty-first-century architecture. The building will rise
64.5 metres above ground in 11 levels. It will double the exhibition and
display space in the gallery, integrate spaces for learning and engaging with
art, and create new social spaces.
