Tate Modern Wayfinding

Last week we took a field trip to Tate Modern. Tate Modern has a total of 7 floors so wayfinding is absolutely essential. As you can see in the first picture, the first form of wayfinding that they have is a type of map that separates the different floors and lists off what exhibits can be found on each one. The names for the exhibits are pretty broad with names like 'Making Traces' and 'Energy and Process'. They are labeled floors 0 up to 6 and put together in sort of an odd geometric display, going along with the modern theme of the museum. These are located on every floor and within every elevator. The floor that you are on will always be highlighted in black so that there is no confusion. Once you exit the elevator or escalator on every floor you will find a giant number on the wall so that you will know which floor you are on along with this same description map that I mentioned earlier. On every floor they also have signs for 'Art' and 'Eat & Shop' as you can see above in the pink and orange blocks. These list off everywhere you can get food and shop along with which level they can be located on as well as what some of the big attractions for the museum are and where you can find them. Lastly, in front of each entrance into an exhibit they give a description of what you will find. This elaborates on the names of the exhibits that can be found on the maps in the elevators and next to the giant numbers on each floor. I thought that the wayfinding in Tate Modern was very well thought out and it was pretty easy to navigate without a map and just looking at all the signs and descriptions on the walls.
