in the former bankside power station

I’d like to say the Tate Modern is my favorite museum in London, but since it’s the only one I’ve been to, that would be a rather deceptive way of putting it. Built as a power station, the museum features a huge five-story hall that was once the location of the main turbine. That main hall is often the gallery for extremely large sculptures, but I was happy to find it (mostly) empty. Though Carsten Höller’s addition to the Unilever Series looks like a lot of fun.

Here you can see the scar of Doris Salcedo’s Shibboleth installation.
