The Collection
spans the period from about 1260 to 1900 and consists of Western
European paintings. The national collection of 20th-century art
is held at Tate
Modern and the national collection of British Art is held at
Tate
Britain. In 1997 Tate and National Galleries established the
cut-off point between their collections at 1900 and exchanged
those works they held from the other's time span.
