At the Tate our mission is to increase the public’s enjoyment and understanding of British art from the 16th century to the present day and of international modern and contemporary art.
When Tate first opened its doors to the public in 1897 it had just one site, displaying a small collection of British artworks.
Today we 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.

About Story Space
A place for all to read, imagine, play and create.Explore the growing Story Space book collection, celebrating books that centre children of colour, featuring books by black authors, indigenous authors and authors of colour from around the world.
Story Space also includes books by authors and about characters who have protected characteristics such as disability, sexual orientation and religion/ belief.
Read to yourself, to someone else, with each other, out loud.
Once you’ve discovered some new stories, tell your own story through our dress-up and drawing activities!
Looking for inspiration for stories of your own? Take a look round the galleries and discover ideas for new characters and settings.
ABOUT STORY SPACE
The Story Space collection consists of books that centre children of colour by black, indigenous authors/ illustrators and authors/ illustrators of colour from all over the world.
It also celebrates and centres books by authors with protected characteristics such as disability, sexual orientation and religion/ belief.
The Early Years and Families team started programming Story Space in 2017 (originally curated by artist and academic Jessie McLaughlin), when only 4% of children’s books published in the UK featured a character who was from a minority ethnic background.
This rose to 20% in 2021. The percentage of books published with a main character from minority ethnic backgrounds has risen year on year but remains low (9% in 2021), meaning that over a third of English primary school pupils still find it difficult to see themselves reflected in the books they read.
