Introduction

Tate comprises four galleries: Tate Britain and Tate Modern in London, along with Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives. Together these galleries have the shared mission to care for and display the national collection of international modern and contemporary art, as well as the national collection of British art from the sixteenth century to the present day, comprising more than 75,000 works of art. Tate preserves these for posterity and ensures the effective presentation of the collection so that it can be enjoyed for free by a national and international public.

Tate is committed to rethinking the history of modern and contemporary art from a less Western-centric vantage point and our vision is to serve as artistically adventurous and culturally inclusive art museums for the UK and the world. Our ambition is to speak to the whole of society, reaching broader audiences though better communications and diverse programming, while championing the role of art and artists.
