The Tate Gallery is the national collection of modern art and of British painting before 1900. This combination of functions is unusual, perhaps unique, among great galleries. It offers an approach to art on the one hand through the national tradition and on the other in the international context of painting and sculpture at the present time. Each of these is likely to colour art and the experience of art in Britain, and the Tate seeks to tell what it can about them both.
