In 1889 the industrialist Henry Tate who had made his fortune as a sugar refiner, decided he would offer to the British nation his collection of art, however to his astonishment, the National Gallery no longer had space. This adversity led him on a search of a new gallery that would house not only his art but also the works of British artists from various other collections.
Today this impressive gallery hosts a collection of work by key artists such as Turner, Gainsborough, Blake, Constable, Bacon, Hepworth, Hodgkin and Wearing and includes rooms with historical themes, while others are dedicated to a single major artist.
