Frieda Kahlo exhibition

[Grimalkin]

Has anyone been to the Kahlo exhibition at the Tate Modern?  I am coming to London this weekend and planned to go but have just discovered the tickets are �10 each + booking fee... I am trying to economise, but will fork out if you think it's worth it... Please let me know what you think.

I haven't been BUT if I were to go to London then it would be on the top of my to do list. I can't tell you what i thought of the exhibition but here's what the Guardian thought:-

a useless answer i'm afraid - i haven't (yet) seen it but have been to other Kahlo exhibitions (including at her Blue House in Mexico City) and def. recommend seeing her vibrant work up close and personal.

a damn shame about the admission cost though. A good thing in Mexico City is that galleries and museums are free on Sundays - so that the whole family can go. maybe some of the more pricey places of culture in London should consider implementing something like this?

Thanks very much for your replies.  I have decided to go, and hang the expense!

As you say metagirl, it is a shame the admission cost is so high.  I wouldn't mind paying a few pounds, as I'm sure it costs a lot to transport/curate/insure all the exhibits, and the rest of the gallery is free. �10 seems over the top though, and even concessions are �9...I feel a rant coming on!

The rest of the gallery is fun to look around and then you can have a nice stroll along the South Bank which is obviously free!
