This is one of the free art galleries to explore in London. I have visited a few times, and I commend the management team for welcoming visitors from all faiths. They have a dedicated prayer room, so if you are Muslim and visiting this place, don’t forget to take the time for your prayers. To find the prayer room, take the lift to level 4. Once you exit the lift, turn left, then head to the right...

From the outside, the building looked very brown and industrial, and honestly it didn’t excite me enough to want to go in. When I did go inside, it was exactly what I expected — classic modern art, which is just not my thing at all.

Should you also know that...

The mix creates a flexible and welcoming atmosphere for different types of visits. During the day t...

An artist friend and I visited the Tate Modern, to see the bold new exhibition of Nigerian art. A brief visit so far, and exhilarating to see, and learn about the different artistic styles, and discover places with so many stories. There's a well-known saying: "Travel broadens the mind". But boy, this art exhibition will blow your mind. We plan to return in a few days, and bring two more friends...
