Introduction

The Tate Britain is the earliest gallery of the Tate museums, dedicated to collecting 19th century British paintings and sculptures, as well as works from the National Gallery of England. In addition, it also has a collection of international modern and contemporary art. In 1955, the gallery became independent from the National Gallery and is now one of 19 national museums funded by the UK government. Today, the Tate museums include the Tate Britain and Tate Modern in London, as well as the Tate Liverpool and Tate St. Ives art galleries.
