Flux Takeaway

Get into the Fluxus Spirit with the Fluxus Takeaway.
Create your own Me Museum, invent a board game, even do a bit of drumming. Fluxus artists see art in everyday life. Their activities are playful, often absurd and poke fun at serious modern art and museums. Do your bit for Fluxus. Ask a member of staff for your Fluxus Takeaway or go to the Level 5 concourse to pick one up.

Saturday 24, Sunday 25, Monday 26 May, 11.00-17.00

Tate Explorers

Children aged between 0 and 12 (and their adults!) are challenged to visit the Explorers Base Camp trolley to collect a map or activity bag.  The maps take the young explorers on a journey of discovery to see, feel and learn about the art in the gallery.  Before they return back to base camp they create some art of their own, inspired by their exploration.
Start at the ground floor and work your way up.

Supported by Rensburg Sheppards
