Overview

Tate Britain, Upper Floor £6.60 (£5.50) Free for Members and Patrons For tickets visit http://www.tate.org.uk/tickets or call 020 7887 8888 This exhibition will explore British art through the theme of migration from 1500 to the present day, reflecting the remit of Tate Britain Collection displays. From the sixteenth and seventeenth century Flemish and Dutch landscape and still-life painters who came to Britain in search of new patrons, through moments of political and religious unrest, to Britain’s current position within the global landscape, the exhibition will reveal how British art has been fundamentally shaped by successive waves of migration.
