liz_stewart — 2023-06-17 20:22:20 UTC

Frances Morris, Director Tate Modern: ‘Big exhibitions, such as our Warhol show currently entombed in our empty galleries, bring tremendous energy and transformative experiences to generations as well as contributing, financially, to enabling the museum to thrive. But the danger is that they crowd out other things that are equally important and valuable, such as the work of our learning and community teams, or the great collection of British and international art Tate holds in trust for the nation. These tangible and intangible assets cannot be measured in numbers or cash returns.’ Financial Times 11.5.2020 ‘On Tate Modern’s 20th anniversary, director Frances Morris says we must assert the value of culture’

Extensive change to historic building without Planning Permission

liz_stewart — 2025-10-21 06:38:54 UTC

Robert K Sutton, former Chief Historian of the NPS said that hasn't been done here.

"This building is so important. It's considered, I think, to be the most important executive building in the world – yet we just don't know what's happening and I think that's very inappropriate."
