Tate Britain, Art gallery in Westminster, London, England
The museum displays over 78,000 artworks spanning from the 1500s to present day, highlighting British art through permanent and temporary exhibitions.
Originally named the National Gallery of British Art, the institution opened in 1897 on the former site of Millbank Prison in London.
The gallery maintains the largest collection of JMW Turner paintings and hosts the annual Turner Prize, a major recognition for contemporary British artists.
