TATE Museum visit to South Africa

In 2014 we sent 52 patrons of the TATE Museum, London on an art immersion experience in South Africa.

When Tate first opened its doors to the public in 1897 it had just one site, displaying a small collection of British artworks. Today they now have four major sites and the national collection of British art from 1500 to the present day and international modern and contemporary art, which includes nearly 70,000 artworks.
