Tate Britain may not be as popular as its 'modern' sister over in Blackfriars, but it's filled with inspiring artworks and thoughtful pieces from historical and current artists alike.
Current exhibitions include the pre raphaelite movement (remember that classic painting of Ophelia?), as well as Tracy Emin's bed, which, if you haven't heard yet, shows a unique insight into the artist's life in her younger years.
It's quiet enough there, that even on a weekend you can stroll around peacefully as we did, taking in each piece of work at a time. To avoid getting lost, we tried the 'always turn right' trick, but there's so many different parts to the gallery that you could be wandering in there all day.
My favourite part was the drip colour drapes, hanging from the ceiling of the central gallery. Having been left in dye, the colours were slowly soaked into the material from the bottom upwards.
