BP British Art Displays 1500 - 2005

Admission is free to these displays.

Tate Britain tells the story of British art through works drawn from the world-famous Tate Collection. The oldest works date from around 1500 and go right up to contemporary art from the present day. This means you can see old masters and Pre-Raphaelite paintings in the same building as work by modern and contemporary artists, such as Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon and Rachel Whiteread. Highlights include Millais's Ophelia, Waterhouse's The Lady of Shalott and Norham Castle by Turner. The Collection is free to see all year round and the displays change regularly so there is always new work to see as well as old favourites.
