Tate Britain

Tate Britain is an art museum on Millbank in London, England, part of the Tate group of galleries. It opened in 1897 as the National Gallery of British Art, funded in large part by the sugar magnate Sir Henry Tate, and later became known simply as the Tate Gallery before being renamed Tate Britain in 2000.

The gallery holds the national collection of British art from the sixteenth century to the present, and is home to the Turner Bequest, the large body of works left to the nation by the painter J. M. W. Turner. It also hosts the annual Turner Prize.
