The Tate comprises the national collections of British painting and twentieth-century painting and sculpture. The gallery was founded in 1897, as the National Gallery of British Art. In 1932, it was renamed the Tate Gallery after sugar magnate Sir Henry Tate, who had laid the foundations for the collection. The Tate Gallery was housed in the current building occupied by Tate Britain, which is situated in Millbank, London.
In 2000, the Tate Gallery transformed itself into the current-day Tate, or the Tate Modern, which consists of a federation of museums: Tate Britain, London (which displays the collection of British art from 1500 to the present day); Tate Liverpool (founded 1988); Tate St Ives, Cornwall (founded 1993); and Tate Modern, London (founded 2000); with a complementary website, Tate Online (created 1998). It is an executive non-departmental public body of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
