The Tate Modern art museum is taking a modern approach to gallery tours by bringing its Twitter followers along for a guided exploration. Tomorrow, the museum is giving a tweet- and image-based tour of its Roy Lichtenstein exhibit for art appreciators who otherwise wouldn't be able to visit the London-based gallery. For 30 minutes, a museum curator will tweet history and imagery of the work of Lichtenstein, a pop artist known for his comic book-styled paintings.
