The Tate Modern was wonderful! And free! There is a charge for certain traveling exhibits, but their permanent collection is free and amazing! This was my first visit to the Tate Modern, but hopefully not my last!
Grab a cup of coffee because this is going to be a sensory overload of photos!
I get a lot of questions about taking photos in museums. Yes, I always ask the guard or the ticket seller if it's okay to take photos in the galleries. And as you can see from the photo below, it often takes patience to make my way to the front of the scrum to get the photo — especially the close ups.
I try to include people in my faraway photos because they give you a better sense of scale. One of the reasons that art in museums is so mind blowing is the sheer scale of it. That, and the texture. There are some things that even truly excellent photos just can't convey.
I hope you enjoyed those photos. There's so much to inspire and excite the senses!
Tomorrow I'll be back with part two! Thanks for stopping by!

The time you spend processing and uploading these photos is a gift to us. Gratitude. Your museum posts draw me in, in a way that no museum website will ever do. The word “context” comes to mind. There is the context of your visit, of the museum itself and of your blog and the community you have created with your art. The work seems more alive to me because of it. Bravo to you for bringing it out of the hallowed halls and tossing it back into everyday life!

Thank you for the introduction to some new artists for me to study. The belief held by the artist Mukherjee that color has qualities the fingers can decern is not the first I have heard described and attributed by a person who is legally blind. Years ago a friend had a modern work in his home painted by a man who was totally blind. My friend said the artist claimed he could sense a temperature difference in the chemicals in the paint colors he applied with his fingers. Your post rang that bell for a memory long at rest.

Julie – did you get a moment to appreciate the building that is Tate Modern too? Originally a power station generating electricity for London from coal brought up the Thames by barge, it was designed by one of our greatest 20th Century architects , Giles Gilbert Scott. For years it languished on the south bank once it’s function was no longer needed until someone had this amazing vision. It is now one of my favourite galleries, I think because it has been so successfully ‘recycled’. So glad you love it and all it contains. Your presentation is fabulous.
