A few weeks ago, Tate Modern found itself at the centre of a storm after wheelchair-user Ciara O’Connor took to social media to protest that there was no ramp to enable her to enter and experience a key cylindrical work in an exhibition by the Danish/Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson.

Within days, more than 2,000 people had retweeted her words and more than 100 had piled in with their own angry anecdotes, drawing apologies from the London museum and from the artist’s studio, which pointed out that it was an old work, created in 2002. There is now a video at the side of Your Spiral View, showing what it is like to pass through. Tate and Eliasson have promised to do better in future.
