Adaptive Re-use: Re-purposing Old Buildings For New Uses
The The Tate Modern Museum is a preeminent museum that once was a power plant and is now one of the world's most famous examples of adaptive re-use.
The Tate Modern was created from the shell of the old, unsightly Bankside Power Station on the Thames River in London.
One old power station,
goes international,
then goes award-winning museum,

The Tate Modern contains four art galleries and houses the national collection of British art from 1500 to the present day as well as international modern and contemporary art. Its collection includes nearly 70,000 artworks by over 3,000 artists and grows every year.
