On 17 June 2016, New Tate Modern will be opened. The ten storey tower, 65 metres high, is being built above the oil tanks of Tate Modern.
It will display a greater variety of artworks and show more artists from around the world, presenting an increasingly international view of modern and contemporary art.
Like the original Tate Modern, the new building is designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron and will present a striking combination of raw industrial spaces and refined 21st century architecture. Its twisting, pyramid-like shape will be a memorable addition to London’s skyline and will offer 60% extra space for visitors to explore.
