Review:

Tate Britain is the home of the United Kingdom's national art collections, sponsored by the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. The museum institution is the world's oldest gallery network, originally founded in 1897. Today, it operates across four art museums, showcasing renowned national collections of British, international modern, and contemporary art. British art from the 14th century through the present day is showcased in the museum's permanent galleries, including works by Sir Francis Bacon, Peter Blake, and David Hockney. Career retrospectives of British artists are also showcased in artist-specific galleries, focusing on artists such as John Latham, Marcus Gheeraerts II, Tacia Dean, and Sam Taylor-Wood. Each year, the museum hosts the prestigious Turner Prize exhibition, which selects four contemporary artists to face a juried panel overseen by the museum's director. Free art talks are offered on the hour each day, showcasing artists, paintings, and artistic styles on display.
