You don't need to know anything about art to enjoy the experience. You can just roam the quiet, often empty rooms and stare contemplatively at pretty things or sit on the benches and gaze at whatever you happen to plonk yourself in front of. Local galleries are usually emptier than the big name, central ones but you're likely to be pounced on by well-meaning guides who mistakenly believe you want to hear them talk about the art. For that reason, you're better off in the bigger galleries for peak anonymity- just avoid the floor with the hot new exhibition and disappear into a mostly abandoned room. The best of these spaces is The Rothko Room at the Tate Modern, exhibiting the work of Mark Rothko. The benches are comfy and the art is just huge canvases covered in blocks of colour (apologies to any art majors for that vague description), so it's easy to fall into a meditative state when they're surrounding you.
