When Tate opened its doors to the public in 1897, it had just one site, displaying a small collection of British artworks. Today, we have four major sites, a national collection of British art from 1500 to the present day, and international modern and contemporary art, which includes nearly 70,000 artworks.

Founded in 1932, located in Somerset House. It features an impressive collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, including works by Monet, Van Gogh, and Cézanne.

Opened in 1856, located in St Martin’s Place. It houses a vast collection of portraits of historically important and famous British people, including paintings, photographs, and sculptures.
