=== Collection exhibitions ===
[[File:Tate.modern.interior.london.arp.jpg|thumb|right|A gallery at Tate Modern]]
The main collection displays consist of 8 areas with a named theme or subject. Within each area there are some rooms that change periodically showing different works in keeping with the overall theme or subject. The themes are changed less frequently. There is no admission charge for these areas.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tate.org.uk/visit/tate-modern#visit|title=Tate Modern|last=Tate}}</ref>

As of June 2016 the themed areas were:<ref name="map" />
* ''Start Display'': A three-room display of works by major artists to introduce the basic ideas of modern art.
* ''Artist and Society''
* ''In The Studio''
* ''Materials and Objects''
* ''Media Networks''
* ''Between Object and Architecture''
* ''Performer and Participant''
* ''Living Cities''

There is also an area dedicated to displaying works from the [[Artist Rooms]] collection.

==== History of the collection exhibitions ====
[[File:Tate Modern.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Chimney of Tate Modern. The ''Swiss Light'' at its top was designed by [[Michael Craig-Martin]] and the architects [[Herzog & de Meuron]] and was sponsored by the Swiss government. It was dismantled in May 2008.]]

Since the Tate Modern first opened in 2000, the collections have not been displayed in chronological order but have been arranged thematically into broad groups. Prior to the opening of the Switch House there were four of these groupings at a time, each allocated a wing on levels 3 and 5 (now levels 2 and 4).

The initial hanging from 2000 to 2006:<ref>{{cite web | title=Tate Modern: Collection 2000 | website=Tate | date=12 May 2000 | url=http://www.tate.org.uk/about/press-office/press-releases/tate-modern-collection-2000 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160812143408/http://www.tate.org.uk/about/press-office/press-releases/tate-modern-collection-2000 | archive-date=12 August 2016 | url-status=dead | access-date=20 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Tate Modern: Collection 2003 | website=Tate | date=1 March 2003 | url=http://www.tate.org.uk/about/press-office/press-releases/tate-modern-collection-2003 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170622203846/http://www.tate.org.uk/about/press-office/press-releases/tate-modern-collection-2003 | archive-date=22 June 2017 | url-status=dead | access-date=20 February 2023}}</ref>
* ''History/Memory/Society''
* ''Nude/Action/Body''
* ''Landscape/Matter/Environment''
* ''Still Life/Object/Real Life''

The first rehang at Tate Modern opened in May 2006.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tate.org.uk/about/press-office/press-releases/tate-modern-launches-first-major-rehang-its-collection-support-ubs|title=Tate Modern launches first major rehang of its Collection with the support of UBS |website=www.tate.org.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/CollectionDisplays?venueid=2|archive-url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20080316122625/http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/CollectionDisplays?venueid=2|url-status=dead|archive-date=16 March 2008|title=[ARCHIVED CONTENT] UK Government Web Archive – The National Archives|first=Internet Memory|last=Foundation}}</ref> It eschewed the thematic groupings in favour of focusing on pivotal moments of twentieth-century art. It also introduced spaces for shorter exhibitions in between the wings. The layout was:

The Turbine hall, which once housed the electricity generators of the old power station, is five storeys tall with 3,400 square metres of floorspace.<ref name="the_guardian">{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/arts/features/story/0,11710,1587112,00.html|title=Profile: Rachel Whiteread|work=The Guardian|location=London|date=7 October 2005|access-date=20 April 2006|first=Xan|last=Brooks}}</ref> It is used to display large specially-commissioned works by contemporary artists, between October and March each year.

From 2000 until 2012, the series was named after its corporate sponsor, [[Unilever]]. In this time the company provided £4.4m sponsorship in total including a renewal deal of £2.2m for a period of five years agreed in 2008.<ref>Gareth Harris (14 August 2012), [http://www.theartnewspaper.com/articles/Tate+seeks+new+sponsor+for+Turbine+Hall+commissions/27009 Tate seeks new sponsor for Turbine Hall commissions] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130605020631/http://www.theartnewspaper.com/articles/Tate+seeks+new+sponsor+for+Turbine+Hall+commissions/27009 |date=5 June 2013 }} ''[[The Art Newspaper]]''.</ref>
This series was planned to last the gallery's first five years, but the popularity of the series led to its extension until 2012.<ref name="artinfo.com">{{cite news|url=http://www.artinfo.com/news/story/27060/dominique-gonzalez-foerster-chosen-for-tate-moderns-turbine-hall/|title=Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster Chosen for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall|access-date=16 September 2008}}</ref>

In 2013, Tate Modern signed a sponsorship deal worth around £5&nbsp;million with [[Hyundai Motor Group|Hyundai]] to cover a ten-year program of commissions, then considered the largest amount of money ever provided to an individual gallery or museum in the United Kingdom.<ref>xMartin Bailey (20 January 2014), [http://theartnewspaper.com/articles/Tate-signs-m-sponsorship-with-Hyundai/31578 Tate signs £5m sponsorship with Hyundai] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140122185549/http://www.theartnewspaper.com/articles/Tate-signs-m-sponsorship-with-Hyundai/31578 |date=22 January 2014 }} ''[[The Art Newspaper]]''.</ref> The first commission for the Hyundai series is Mexican artist, [[Abraham Cruzvillegas]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/hyundai-commission-2015-abraham-cruzvillegas|title=Hyundai Commission 2015: Abraham Cruzvillegas|access-date=23 January 2015}}</ref>

When there is no series running, the Turbine Hall is used for occasional events and exhibitions. In 2011 it was used to display [[Damien Hirst]]'s ''For The Love of God''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tate.org.uk/about/press-office/press-releases/damien-hirsts-iconic-love-god-be-shown-tate-moderns-turbine-hall|title=Damien Hirst's iconic For the Love of God to be shown in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall|work=Tate Etc.|date=21 November 2011|access-date=15 August 2012}}</ref> A sell-out show by [[Kraftwerk]] in February 2013 crashed the ticket hotline and website, causing a backlash from the band's fans. In 2018 the Turbine Hall was used for two performances of [[Messiaen]]'s ''[[Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum]]'' and [[Stockhausen]]'s ''[[Gruppen]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/performance/stockhausen|title=Stockhausen London Symphony Orchestra at Tate Modern|access-date=1 January 2019}}</ref>

==== Major temporary exhibitions ====
Two wings of the Boiler House are used to stage the major temporary exhibitions for which an entry fee is charged. These exhibitions normally run for three or four months. When they were located on a single floor, the two exhibition areas could be combined to host a single exhibition. This was done for the [[Gilbert and George]] retrospective due to the size and number of the works.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/gilbert-george|title=Gilbert & George – Tate|access-date=22 January 2016}}</ref>

A 2014 show of [[Henri Matisse]] provided Tate Modern with London's best-attended charging exhibition, and with a record 562,622 visitors overall, helped by a nearly five-month-long run.<ref>Javier Pes and Emily Sharpe (2 April 2015), [http://theartnewspaper.com/news/museums/17584/ Visitor figures 2014: the world goes dotty over Yayoi Kusama] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150420033842/http://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/museums/17584/ |date=20 April 2015 }} ''[[The Art Newspaper]]''.</ref> In 2018, [[Joan Jonas]] had a retrospective exhibition.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2018/mar/13/joan-jonas-review-tate-modern|title=Joan Jonas review – post-internet confusion before the internet|date=13 March 2018|work=The Guardian|access-date=18 March 2018}}</ref>

In May 2025, Tate Modern celebrated its 25th anniversary with a free four-day "Birthday Weekender" (Highlights include the return of [[Louise Bourgeois]]’s iconic spider sculpture [[Maman (sculpture)|Maman]]).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.flolondon.co.uk/all-posts/whats-on-in-london-this-week-5-11-may-2025|title=FLO London; What's on in London this week: 5 - 11 May 2025|date=5 May 2025|website=FLO London}}</ref>

==== The Tanks ====
The Tanks, located on level 0, are three large underground oil tanks, connecting spaces and side rooms originally used by the power station and refurbished for use by the gallery. One tank is used to display installation and video art specially commissioned for the space while smaller areas are used to show installation and video art from the collection. The Tanks have also been used as a venue for live music.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/emzj6q|title=Proms at ... The Tanks at Tate Modern|publisher=BBC|access-date=1 January 2019}}</ref>

==== Project Space ====
The Project Space (formerly known as the Level 2 Gallery) was a smaller gallery located on the north side of the Boiler House on level 1 which housed exhibitions of contemporary art in collaboration with other international art organisations. Its exhibitions typically ran for 2–3 months and then travelled to the collaborating institution for display there. The space was only accessible by leaving the building and re-entering using a dedicated entrance. It is no longer used as gallery space.

==== Other areas ====
Works are also sometimes shown in the restaurants and members' rooms. Other locations that have been used in the past include the mezzanine on Level 1 and the north facing exterior of the Boiler House building.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/street-art|title=Street Art – Tate|access-date=22 January 2016}}</ref>
