Categories: Art, Museums / Libraries

Four art galleries. The original was founded in Millbank in 1897, as the National Gallery of British Art. It was renamed in 1932 after Henry Tate who had laid the foundations for the collection. Tate Liverpool opened in 1988, followed by Tate St Ives in 1993 and Tate Modern in the converted Bankside power station, London in 2000.
