About Tate Britain
Founded by sugar magnate Henry Tate in 1897 as the National Gallery of British Art, the building was rechristened Tate Britain in 2000 when the modern collection moved across the river.
Today it presents the world's most comprehensive collection of British art, including the Clore Gallery devoted entirely to J. M. W. Turner.
