TATE BRITAINIt has a huge collection dating back from 1500 to the present and the 'Modern Art and Tradition' section explores Britain’s cultural heritage. The gallery owns so much art that in 2000 some was moved to the newly opened Tate Modern on Bankside. The gallery is located at Millbank in London and is one of a family of four Tate galleries which display selections from the Tate Collection. The other three galleries are the Tate Modern which is also in London, the Tate Liverpool in the north-west, and the Tate St Ives in Cornwall in the south-west. Check out their Websites where you can explore the entire Tate Collection online. Tate Britain boasts a fine collection of art with works from notable artists such as Constable, Gainsborough and Blake, to name but a few. It also showcases the works of JNV Turner and others and most recently the works of David Hockney. The modern art exhibited ranges from the Pre-Raphaelite period to Cubism. You can see the work of Giacometti, Picasso, Moore, Hepworth and Warhol. The gallery annually exhibits the artists that are short-listed for the Turner Prize.
The speed boat is decorated with spots and based on a theme by Damien Hirst.
Admission to the art gallery is FREE except for special exhibitions.
