A Wonder Of Visit As Tate Britain

The Tate is an institution that houses the United Kingdom's national collection of British Art, and International Modern and Contemporary Art. The Tate gallery was founded in 1897, as the National Gallery of British Art. When its role was changed to include the national collection of Modern Art as well as the national collection of British art, it was renamed the Tate Gallery after Henry Tate, who had laid the foundations for the collection.
The Tate Britain displays art linked to British history over the last five hundred years. Displays are roughly chronological. Rooms 1 - 17 display works before 1900, rooms 18 - 34 show works after that date. Rooms in the Clore gallery are dedicated to Turner. Displays are built around a particular theme, which is explained on a wall panel in each room. Pictures on show are changed regularly.
The museum's collection reaches back to the year 1500 and features paintings from the era of Queen Elizabeth I, artwork by Francis Bacon, pieces from the famous animal painter George Stubbs, and many more British artists.
Check out the Clore Gallery (a specially designed area of the museum) to get a glimpse of the collection of famed landscape artist J.M.W. Turner--there are over 300 pieces to enjoy. For an in-depth look into Britain's art history, the Tate Britain has the most comprehensive collection of its kind, making it an unrivaled resource.
