Tate Foundation

Our mission is to increase the public’s enjoyment and understanding of British art from the sixteenth century to the present day and of international modern and contemporary art. Its statutory aims and objectives set out in its governing document are: - to care for, preserve and add to the works of art and the documents in its collections; - to ensure that the works of art are exhibited to the public; - to ensure that the works of art and the documents are available to persons seeking to inspect them in connection with study or research; and - generally to promote the public’s enjoyment and understanding of British art, and of twentieth-century and contemporary art, both by means of the Board’s collections and by such other means as they consider appropriate.
