New Tate Britain unveiled
November 18 2013
Video: Tate
The new entrance and rooms at Tate Britain open tomorrow. There's a shiny new staircase, and even a 'newly discovered' room. £45m has been spent. I must say, I quite liked the old rotunda, and I'm not entirely sure why Tate needed to isntall a staircase to take visitors downstairs, when they've just had to go upstairs (from the street) to get in. But anyway, it all looks splendid - so well done Tate Britain. In the film above, Kevin McCloud goes over the site when work was being done. More pictures and video of the finished galleries here.
