The '''Tate Gallery''' is an [[art gallery|art gallery or museum]], that was originally officially titled the ''National Gallery of British Art'', and was situated in in Pimlico, [[London, England|London]]. It was founded in 1898 by the Tate family with money earned from their [[sugar]] plantations. It was initially a collection of British art, concentrating on the works of modern - that is [[Victorian]] - painters. It later expanded its collection to include foreign art, and so in the twentieth century became principally a gallery devoted to [[Modernism]]. Since 2000 the 'British' and 'Modern' aspects of the collection have been housed in separate buildings. The original gallery is now called ''[[Tate Britain]]'' to distinguish it from several other ''Tate Galleries'' in [[England]] and is a national gallery for British art from [[1500]] to the present day.
Each year the museum organizes the [[Turner Prize]], given to a British artist under 50.
