Tate Britain's grand entrance

The major part of the work was unveiled in May alongside the acclaimed chronological rehang of the works in the Tate collection and includes an entirely new gallery space dedicated to Henry Moore. The basement itself has been revamped, retaining the existing café with its vaulted ceilings and adding a new café space that spills on to a sunken terrace at the front of the building. In the gallery above the rotunda is a new, self-consciously glamorous long bar and members' space, opening up an area that had been inaccessible to the public. While much of the meticulous restoration work is almost invisible, Caruso St John have created subtle interventions that posit a new language for the circulation spaces which feed the galleries.
