Metrospective Tate Modern Extension

The new development of Tate Modern will create the world's first museum designed to show the full breadth of contemporary art in the 21st century.

The new project will:
Create the world's leading centre for contemporary art, which will be of benefit to both artists and our public and help Tate to develop one of the finest collections of contemporary art in the world.
Create a new landmark building for London, which will help it to maintain its position as the leading cultural and creative capital of the world.
Act as a catalyst for the further regeneration of Southwark. The new building will facilitate the greater integration of Tate with its local community and urban landscape, bringing maximum benefit to the local area.
Place education, life-long learning and the development of creative skills at the heart of what we do, enabling Tate to reach out to different audiences.
Contribute substantial economic benefits to London as a whole and to Southwark in particular.
