Tate

Tate was founded in 1897 as the National Gallery of British Art. It was renamed Tate in 1932 when the gallery changed its mission to include national art, after Henry Tate donated his collection of 19th century British works to the museum. The gallery consists of four branches: Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool, and Tate St. Ives. All four museums share the Tate collection – nearly 70,000 artworks – from 1500 to the present day, and display international modern and contemporary art.
