Tate Modern Collection with UBS

Tate and UBS share a vision to open up art. Together we have created UBS Openings, a dynamic and wide-reaching programme focused on the Tate Modern Collection.
 
The programme features the complete re-hang of Tate Modern's permanent Collection, including a selection of works from The UBS Art Collection, an annual cultural festival, regular live events and an exciting range of activities for families.
 
By working together, we believe that our unique partnership will enable us to reach out to more audiences than ever before.
