I previously worked as a Collection Research Assistant at the Tate and I am now hosting one of the most successful Art Experiences in London. It is not uncommon to feel both intrigued and confused by a piece of contemporary art. Allow me to guide you through the galleries of Tate Modern on a curious inquiry into what we see and hopefully, during the 2 hours that we spend together, you will acquire the skills of looking, seeing and talking about art. At Tate Modern, we will look at some fabulous art from a fresh angle and try to experience it on a more personal level without any preconceived ideas. Ask questions! Get excited! Let's talk about art in a way where no answer is too big, or too small, or too right, or too wrong. All ages are welcome, no specific knowledge of art is required. ## Before you book - Meeting point: We will be meeting inside the Turbine… - Entry ticket included: skip the ticket desk - 4 start times: between 11:00 and 15:00 - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age 8+: minimum age to join ## Key facts - Price: from €119 per person for the See Tate Modern with an Art Historian Guided Tour, London option; other options up to €121 - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.84/5 from 32 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 97% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: NEJA's Art Walks ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | See Tate Modern with an Art Historian Guided Tour, London | €119 / person | Russian, English | - | | Tate Modern Tour | €121 / person | Russian, English | Duration: 2 hours | ## What's included - Art Historian's expertise - Free entry ticket to Tate Modern - A photograph or two in front of your chosen art works - Highlight of the Tate Modern's collection - Fun yet informative time ## Not included - The paid-for temporary exhibitions ## Itinerary 1. **Tate Modern** (2h) - It is not uncommon to feel both intrigued and confused by a piece of contemporary art.
