It is a part of the Tate network which includes 4 art galleries. With over 4.5 million visitors every year, this gallery is the world’s most visited art gallery. The collections in the gallery are categorized into four groups: 'History/Memory/Society', 'Nude/Action/Body','Landscape/Matter/Environment' and 'Still Life/Object/Real Life'.
In 2006, spaces were allocated in different floors to exhibit special art from the twentieth century. Level 2 exhibits contemporary art collections that are open for visitors for 2-3 months. In level 3, you can find collections based on material gestures, poetry and dream. The paintings look lively depicting human emotions, abstraction and expressions. All temporary exhibitions with admission fees are hosted in level 4. Level 5 displays the works of famous artists based on energy, process and flux.

Tate Britain
Tate Britain is another gallery under the Tate network and opened in 1897. This gallery contains traditional English collections which date from the 1500s. The majority of the collections are those of J.M.W.Turner. Every year, one artist is chosen for the Turner Prize award hosted in the gallery. The works of four authors are shortlisted and displayed. Works that display controversial and offensive works get priority and the best author is awarded the prestigious prize. The main space in the gallery displays permanent British collections and some rooms exhibit work of individual artists. The first Friday of every month is busy as visitors flood to the ‘Late’ at the gallery when live music, performance arts and exhibitions are offered at half-priced admission fees. So, rush up without waiting for buses or trains. You had better book London Taxis to enjoy these programs.
