Well excellent art, but poor cafes (too little choice, too packaged), and rude staff as they cleared people from the Hockney exhibition abruptly and five minutes before closing, and then closed the toilets early.
Our tempos are always superb! The permanent collection is always worth a visit (and then admission is free)
One of the best and favorite museums in London, along with Tate Modern. Interesting expositions are constantly brought. When subscribing to membership, it turns out very cheaply, a closed members area is also available, with a cafe and lounge area where you can sit, read, and relax. I recommend to everyone.
Fantastic . the modern pieces are brave and refreshing
Was a really great day in a special space . Had a brilliant morning at the van Gogh exhibition. Then after lunch in the cafe to the Turner exhibition.
Very good museum, free for all with all periods of English artists. Restaurant and coffee shop available, and free guided tour every day. The biggest collection of JMW Turner paintings.
I love Tate Britain, staff incredible kind, pure art, the building and it's treasures, a place to return every opportunity you can.
I had an appointment at the Dolphin Spa for a steam and massage. I had arrived early so I decided to take a look around Tate Britain art gallery. I looked at the vintage and the retro art work. It was a short visit but I liked it so much that I bought a Tate holder bag.
Great gallery and free to enter, though donations are recommended.
Visited the Van Gogh exhibition, it's not often that I'm moved to tears by a painting but the beauty, passion and pain in Vincent's work touched me deeply.
More interesting than the Tate modern beautiful collection except the section arte povera that remains of the humbucking
Enjoyed the William Blake exhibition. Well paced and presented. Some fine merchandise available too.
British art laid out in galleries by the decade. See the progression, but most of all witness how it went quiet and almost dormant at the outbreak and aftermath of World War I. Great history told through art.
Pretty cool! Quite a few famous paintings, others are all very nice, good exhibition on post ww1 art.
Tate Britain, known from 1897 to 1932 as the National Gallery of British Art and from 1932 to 2000 as the Tate Gallery, is an art museum on Millbank in the City of Westminster in London. It is part of the Tate network of galleries in England, with Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives. It is the oldest gallery in the network, having opened in 1897. It houses a substantial collection of the art of the United Kingdom since Tudor times, and in particular has large holdings of the works of J. M. W. Turner, who bequeathed all his own collection to the nation. It is one of the largest museums in the country. The main display spaces show the permanent collection of historic British art, as well as contemporary work. It has rooms dedicated to works by one artist, such as: Tracey Emin, John Latham, Douglas Gordon, Sam Taylor-Wood, Tacita Dean, Marcus Gheeraerts II, though these, like the rest of the collection, are subject to rotation. The gallery also organises career retrospectives of British artists and temporary major exhibitions of British Art. Every three years the gallery stages a Triennial exhibition in which a guest curator provides an overview of contemporary British Art. The 2003 Tate Triennial was called Days Like These. Art Now is a small changing show of a contemporary artist's work in a dedicated room.
I visited yesterday solely for the Don McCullin exhibition, which was superb and very poignant.
The gallery is just a short and well signposted walk from Pimlico tube station (Victoria Line: one stop south of Victoria Station). Pimlico is also fully accessible for wheelchair users.
The building itself is beautiful inside and out. Most visitors fail to notice the prominent bomb damage on the west side dating from a German WW2 bomb in 1940.
As we only visited the McCullin photography exhibition we didn t see much of the remainder of the building, but I took some nice photos of a very nice spiral staircase beneath a glass dome.
Just love the place! Is a museum with many different types of art works, so you will find something for all the tastes
An unforgettable museum. A must if you love British art.
Great gallery. Regular exhibitions. Well worth a visit.
Great gallery that has, to remain functional and comply with distancig regulations, created a one way route through 500 years of British art, it's well organised, well curated and excellent, go see it !!
I visit this place several times a year. It's less showy than Tate Modern and perfect to lose myself in art.
I really appreciate this museum. It s a great building, the collection is great, the temporary exhibitions are very cool and different each time, the people walking around like you are quiet and respectful, and the book shop is very nice and big and you can find very popular art books as and rare pieces.
Beautiful building with a great art collection and facilities
Burn-Jones exhibition was tremendous, what a beautiful space the Tate is!
Free admission, almost all exhibitions are free. To have.
I'd heard some bad reviews of the Tate Britain in comparison to the Tate Modern. Well those people were wrong, that place is amazing. Whilst there are some duds; that massive room of machinery or the countless Barbara Hepworths - aren't there enough of those in Tate St Ives and Tate Modern? What he came for however was the Van Gogh museum and whilst it was obviously crammed - it was truly an amazing exhibition.
I go less often to the Tate Britain then to other museums.
That's why I am again and again surprised by what I can see in there, and why the building in itself it is still a source of inspiration.
Incredible Museum where you can combine classical English art, especially paintings from 1800 and contemporary art, with works by the private collection of Turner. Famous paintings like Ophelia, are an ideal reclamation, for a small Museum (compared to the great Museums of London) and totally free. An exquisite atmosphere.
A bit out of the way but museum itself is, easily navigable.
If you love art this is well worth the visit with a range to choose from.
Wonderful selection of art that never disappoints..
Stumbled across this amazing museum and was blown away by the amount of women's art and history it contains!!! It is a MUST SEE in London. Angelica Kauffman's works gave me chills.
Not a lot of people, purely good. The exhibition is big. Have something to enjoy !!
Immense ... like all the museums in London a well of works.
Excellent
Lovely gallery. Paintings and sculpture that I enjoy. Good facilities,
This was my first trip to Tate Britain. Wide range of British art which is easily accessible to anyone with even a passing interest in the subject. although free to enter you will have to pay for any special exhibitions you visit. However collections by the well-known British artists, such as Turner, Constable, Spencer, Blake, Morris and Moore as well as a photographic exhibition of Black British life and culture by Black artists are free and worth a visit on their own.
Great place for modern art, especially the temporary exhibitions.
I went to see the Van Gogh Exhibition. It was so worth it. The classic self portrait and sunflower embraced the vibrance and strong strokes of Vincent. It's amazing that one becomes more celebrated after death.
This museum is a must-go-to because its so amazing and very unique.
A museum to see
For fans of paintings and sculptures
The nineteenth century gallery is highly recommended with its English pre-Raphaelites
Exhibition William BLAKE top and well designed
Very nice restaurant break
Super temporary exhibition.
Beautiful permanent exhibition.
Do not miss a visit to London.
Came here to see the Impressionists in London exhibition. I like Tate Britain slightly better than Tate Modern as it is a quieter venue and a really pleasant experience. Today did not disappoint.
The architecture of the building alone is fascinating. The art is separated according to time periods which you can keep track of on the flooring.
It was interesting to see how the perception of beauty changed over time. More importantly though, how the perception and meaning of art changed as time went on.
I think it's worth visiting at least once.
Wonderful Van Gogh exhibition and thought provoking Dan McCullen.
Turner Prize 2018 is an extremely interesting series of videos. You need a few hours in total to spend time watching each.
a small and beautiful modern art gallery
It s not easy to go to this museum in London, where there are so many museums. One is a modern art lover. Another possibility is that there is no place to go anywhere in London.
Lovely building and loved the Vincent Van Gogh exhibition.
Interesting gallary, a mix of classical and modern art, sculptures and live ballet dancers! Spent approx 1.5 hours there. Staff were friendly, some were asleep ahah
Free for permanent exhibitions, with historical significance specific to English art (Pre-Raphaelites!).
Magnificent exhibitions of the best of British art, spanning approximately the last 500 years in a beautiful building. Great selection of Turner and Constable paintings, ranging to sculptures by Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and Anthony Gormley. Spent a couple of hours here on a Saturday morning and still probably didn't see everything. Will definitely visit again.
Think I like this more than Tate Modern. Great collection of art from different eras and nothing like as busy as the Modern.
Fascinating museum with new collections frequently. Always a good reason to keep returning.
Amazing place-full of beautiful paintings by famous British painters. Worth visiting!
Very spacious, well laid out museum. I definitely prefer this to the Tate Britain.
Wonderful permanent collection and inspiring exhibitions
