A London icon of a gallery with some really interesting pieces. The building is also a marvel. Missed out on the free talking tour so will do that next time we visit as overheard the tour guide in one of the exhibitions and sounded really informative. The ticketed areas were a little annoying, not that they were ticketed but it was not really clear on arrival. Will be returning for round 2 as didn’t see all the rooms, lunch called. Did stop off at the cafe but didn’t partake in the £7 sandwich even if it had a shaving of fancy carrot. Well worth visiting on the free entry London tour.

The building itself is a star. I don’t always understand modern art but the organization by theme and artist made some of the works more accessible. I was disappointed that some prominent British artists (Bacon, Freud) were not on display here but up the river at at Tate Britain.

Always a great place to visit, if you're a fan of modern art. You can leave your bags and coats in the luggage area, which frees you up to walk about unhindered. We paid to see the 'Capturing the moment' exhibition which was great, then we walked around enjoying the free exhibits. Had a bite in the corner cafe, and meandered around the shop. Another great visit, and we'll be back again sometime soon.

We’d just seen a wonderful production at the Globe and I had seen a review on here suggesting the cafe and the view…so we ‘skipped the art’ and took the lift up to the sixth floor! Wow! What a way to finish the afternoon! Really friendly staff, spectacular view and delicious champagne too!

If you're a fan of modern art, then this is a great place to visit. The main exhibition I wanted to see was fully booked, which was disappointing, but I still enjoyed the rest of the art! Tip: Head to the 6th floor for a cafe with spectacular views.

Not too keen on modern art and this museum simply confirmed my ignorance. This museum is very much the open-plan type. And primarily because of that, I became quite confused and unsure as to how to proceed. Fifteen minutes tops and I was ready to leave.

Outstanding Guston exhibit. Infinity rooms were cool but not amazing or worth a long wait in line. You’re only get two minutes in each room. Gift shop was pretty uninspired. Overall the content and showings are superb.

I could have spent all day here! Such a great place… open big spaces, displaying memorising pieces of art that had me wanting more and more. The downsides would be 1. the maintenance of the toilets, which were dirty and smelly. 2. Although I do understand the concept of modern art. A tiny portion was simply ridiculous and did not deserve its platform at one of worlds greatest art galleries. 3. I do not believe in sectioning off parts of the gallery and charging admission. Art should be accessible for all, but this leaves poor people out. You should find other ways and means of raising funds. Otherwise, I can’t wait to return.

This museum is located along the Queen’s Walk on the River Thames. It is the largest Modern Art Museum in the World. Any painting made after 1900 is can be considered to be Modern. This Southbank Museum is a joy to visit. The actual building made in 1946 was a power station which closed around 1980. Three Tate Museums combined into one in 2000. Over a million visitors yearly stroll through the museum corridors. The museum is free like the major museums in London are. Obviously, donations are always encouraged. One can spend an hour or hours going from one room to another. Taking pictures without flash are allowed and even encouraged. Some of the exhibits are outright crazy, but fun. Our favorite exhibit is the colorful painting by Firelei Baez made in 2021 of a map of the British Empire. We have that painting as our computer screen. Across the river is St. Paul’s Cathedral. London does present a contrast of history and flavors, literally. If you found this review “helpful” in any way, please press “Thumbs-up” to let me know.

Perfect outing on a London Rainy day. There is something for all ages. This is an awesome museum filled with some of the modern pieces I’ve ever seen. If you get hungry there is a nice cafe in the second floor. Walking distance near South Bank place.
