Tate is a network of four art galleries—Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool, and Tate St Ives—that together hold the United Kingdom’s national collection of British art from 1500 to today, alongside major works of international modern and contemporary art. Founded in 1897 by Henry Tate, the institution plays a leading role in shaping public engagement with art through exhibitions, acquisitions, research, and education. From the industrial architecture of Tate Modern to the coastal setting of Tate St Ives, each gallery offers a distinct experience while contributing to Tate’s mission of making art accessible to all.
