Tate Britain

What to expect

German bombing caused significant damage to this famous art gallery. Although the full extent of the damage can now only be imagined, the deeply pitted surface of the Portland stone walls are best seen on the side walls of the building in Atterbury Street and these give a good impression of the destruction.
