I spent the afternoon wandering through the Tate Modern’s fabulousity today.  Beyond the great Voyeurism exhibition I saw and the permanent collections, what I loved most about this museum is how it exudes warmth.  I got the feeling that it’s a super friendly community of regular folks who come to the museum, see some art, have a sandwich or pot of tea, chat with folks, and then donate a few pounds.  If it makes me feel like that in one day, I imagine it must be quite special for people who actually live in London and like art.
My other favorite part is that it’s free, which I think all museums should be.  I had a cup o’ tea and saw the exhibition compliments of a couchsurfer, though.  I hope to write more about this network of people showing incredible hospitality soon.
