'''Tate Modern''' (no definite article) is [[Britain]]'s new national museum of modern art in [[London]].

It is housed in the former [[Bankside Power Station]], which was originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect responsible for [[Battersea Power Station]], and built in two stages between 1947 and 1963. The power station closed in 1981. The building was converted by architects Herzog & de Meuron. Since its opening on [[May 12]], [[2000]] it has become a very popular destination for Londoners and tourists.
