Tour description
Get an insight into 500 years of British art history through the stunning artwork at one of the UK's leading galleries. Meet famous faces, experience beautiful landscapes and discover important historical events through some of the nation's most important paintings, sculpture and architecture. We start by looking into family life of the Tudor period; observe how Turner and Constable captured the changing face of the British landscape; get up close to the detail of the Pre-Raphaelites and witness how the Victorians painted the Empire. This walk-through of British art commences in the main entrance/foyer of Tate Britain and concludes back at the same location.
