Tour: Architecture of TATE Britain and Millbank

Join a tour exploring the gallery’s buildings and surroundings

Tate Britain has a rich architectural history. From the original building completed in 1897 on the site of the former Millbank Prison, the gallery has undergone a series of changes over the last century as well as surviving flooding and war damage. Led by architectural writer, historian and editor Shumi Bose, this tour explores how the building’s development has reflected broader shifts in architectural movements – from nineteenth-century neo-classicism to the postmodern Clore Gallery. It includes a visit to the new installation and performance in the Duveen Galleries by artist Anthea Hamilton, whose work has often engaged with images and legacies of postmodernism.
