My husband and I visited the Tate Britain yesterday, and I was rather excited as this was my first visit to the museum. The Tate Britain is a beautiful building which houses a collection of British art dating from 1500. Entrance is free (but donations are welcome) and the museum is easy to get to. The closest tube station is ... Read the complete review

Tate Britain- which was nearly called Tate 2 with Tate Modern being Tate 1- is an excellent starting point for exploring what it means to be British today. Tate Modern may be more glamorous but arguably Tate Britain provides the visitor with a more grounded and profound experience of art. It is of course principally an art ... Read the complete review

Okay, I admit it I'm a complete sucker for Pre-Raphaelite paintings. Art critics may sneer, but give me a painting of a moody red-haired chick and I'm a happy woman. I went to the Tate just to see the Pre-Raphs and was very impressed with their collection. If you love their work the Tate is a must as it has The Lady of Shallott ... Read the complete review

All too easily overlooked with the recent opening of the mammoth Tate Modern, the former Tate Gallery, now named the Tate Britain, is still a superb gallery, and now is an ideal time to pay it a visit.
