They have proven the huge demand for access to our galleries outside of regular hours, especially among young Londoners who want to make the most of their city\u2019s dynamic cultural scene. So I\u2019m delighted that Tate Modern will soon be open late every Friday and Saturday evening, making the world\u2019s most popular modern art museum even more accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tate Modern gallery is resuming its regular late-night openings after they were suspended during the pandemic.
