This is one of my favorite buildings standing today, The Tate Modern in London. It has paintings, sculpture, etc. Random acts of artwork from the modern era, but it's really fantastic that the building of the museum stands as a reconfigured landscape itself. Last time I was there with my in-laws and didn't really get to spend the time as I wanted (plus I think I was hung-over as a dog). But the trip before that--my first time there--was when we were in England with my wife, her sister, and her sister's husband, and I think we were all just stunned by the fantastic holdings and the size of some of the exhibitions. Wish we could take a more active approach to such collections here in the States, but I've only really seen comparable museums in New York. There's really very little here in Indiana...ah, well. Perhaps I'll have to plan another trip abroad!
Here's the Joan MirĂ³ that I love at the Tate:
