Tate Salvation
Yesterday I visited the British Museum. It was an enjoyable time, but it is no Musée du Louvre. I did especially like the reading room.
This morning however, an entirely different story. I spent some time wandering around Tate Modern which thoroughly lived up to its reputation. Anyone with an interest in modern art must visit it at some time. If you are interested in architecture all the better, because the gallery is housed in a majestic old power station - the original architect was Sir Giles Gilbert Scott who also designed the iconic British red telephone box. Then for a break I popped into the calm, cool & quite stylish Salvation Army Cafe where I paid an astoundingly cheap 80p for a 500ml bottle of vanilla coke (which is hard to come by in London at any price). It also claims an "internet hot spot", but I didn't have my laptop with me to test it out. 11:49 PM, 12 Sep 2005 by Mark Aufflick Permalink | Comments (0)
