Looking out from within & vice versa

The various vistas at the Tate Modern Herzog & de Meuron building- looking out to nearby buildings and the cityscape and down to the Turbine Hall where visitors gather. While walking through the building the visitor is regularly reminded of the museum and its extensive collection of art being posed in relation to the city.


^ Marwan Rechmaoui's sculpture of a building in Beirut that cannot be demolished due to it being too tall and too dense, remaining completely intact during the Lebanese Civil War. Instead it remains today as a memorial to the conflict as well as a symbol of defiance during that time.
