The New Tate Modern

Not only did I luck out at being in London for the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child previews, but I also got to check out the New Tate Modern during its opening weekend.

Full disclosure: on the whole, I’m not a huge modern art fan but that being said, I’ll always keep an open mind when checking new exhibitions. Because they can’t always be big time suckage. And there was the new 10 story Switch House to explore and all events were free throughout the opening weekend.

Here’s some modern art that I quite enjoyed: (more art on my other posts here)
