Awful! Hope the artwork is undamaged.
boo hoo
Their defence is terrified.
Oh no!
Are we sure it’s not orange netting?
Yayyy
I’ve been in the area and smelt something odd like a distant fire. Hopefully the exhibits and people are safe.
Are you sure it’s not a new piece by the K Foundation?
It can’t be that bad. I live right in the neighbourhood and haven’t even heard any sirens!
What’s happening?
Shame it wasn’t the Tate Modern
Were there just yesterday to hit the two great temporary exhibits. I’m sure they’ll sort it out quickly.
New modern art installation “the big smoke”
Nothing on news about it?
Oh god, I hope they can control it without too much damage. I love that museum to bits and I was hoping to take family in March.
I agree! There are some really good pieces in there at the moment!
OHHH NOO 🙁
Would much rather that the other one go on fire, given a choice.
I never liked art galleries
It’s just a drill
That happened the last time I went too.
What
just stop oil is getting out of control
Hope no art get damage
Is there actually a fire or just a drill? Theres nothing in the news about this.
No one reporting it?
Is it actually on fire or did a fire alarm just go off?
I feel like if there was a real fire it would be all over Twitter / news etc
When I saw the headline, I didn’t realize there was an actual fire. I went into the comments to see what the hot new exhibition was that is causing the long queues 🤣.
hopefully everyone is safe; and the preraphaelites too 🙁
Great photo of… some people standing around
There’s no fire, apart from this post (which is a bin-fire).
Doesn’t look that busy?
Can’t see any fire, you sure?
Somebody probably dropped a fag end.
As in excessively or just a little bit?
Thought this was some sort of Tik Tok review extolling the wonders of Tate Britain like they just discovered it.
Sorry everyone I dropped my mixtape inside 😔
Best art it’s seen in years
Tracy Emin burning her nickers … It’s a new exhibition.
Probably some burnt toast.
That is a scary headline.
Could you please give us any more specific details?
What is wrong with people wishing the Tate Modern catches fire instead?! No one is being forced to go there. You don’t even have to pay to get in, if you choose to do so. Just unnecessarily hateful. Sad lives. Not your taste, don’t go.
