How sad is that
It's a first step! I make a lot of work using Unity game engines so it's rare to get a bit of commercial success and i wanted to share :)

> * Tate Modern opened a new building with a viewing platform on the roof in 2016
> * Owners of flats at the Neo Bankside complex complain about being overlooked
> * They took gallery to High Court asking that parts of the platform be screened off
> * Residents, who paid between Β£2m and Β£19m for their properties, lost fight today
> Giving judgment in London today, Mr Justice Mann dismissed the claim. He said: 'I have rejected the claim in privacy and I have rejected the claim in nuisance.'
> Tate Modern lawyers also argued London's Southbank 'will no doubt have contributed to the value' of the flats at Neo Bankside, which sell for between Β£2million to Β£19million.
> They said residents 'cannot pick and choose' which aspects of local developments they do or do not like.
> One claimant said in written evidence to the court: 'When our blinds are open and the viewing platform is in use, we are more or less constantly watched, waved at, photographed and filmed by people on the viewing platform.'
> Another said that 'on one occasion, he counted 84 people photographing the flats over a period of just over one-and-a-half hours'. He also 'discovered that a photo of himself had been posted on Instagram to 1,027 followers', the lawyer said.
> He submitted that 'the use by the public of the viewing platform makes, at most, only a modest contribution to [the Tate's] performance of its statutory objects'. He also claimed that 'very little of value would be lost' if visitors were excluded from the overlooking parts of the platform.
> In written statements to the court, one of the claimants Lindsay Urquhart said: 'It breaks my heart to think that on the rare occasion that I have forgotten to draw the blinds, and my daughter has been in the kitchen or living room, that people have been able to film and photograph my little girl in her own home and to upload the images onto the internet for anyone to see.'

Sorry, could not find any other source.
Guide London have done a talk on the National Portrait Gallery and the Tate Modern. The focus is on women in the museums but also giving some hints and tips for when this is all over and you can visit again.
I thought people might find this interesting in their isolation.
The talk is given by 2 blue badge guides, who are accredited London tour guides. They study for 2 years before they gain their badges so they are very knowledgable.
If anyone is interested they've got more scheduled whilst the lockdown is on. There should be details on their Facebook and they will be shared on their YouTube page
