Tate is a leading centre for research in the arts and in the field of caring for the collection.
Research is central to many of Tate's programmes. It underpins the acquisition of works of art, their treatment and conservation, the writing of interpretative texts and scholarly publications, and the creation of displays and exhibitions. Research also plays a key role in developing museum policies, understanding Tate's audiences and planning new services.
Tate's research programme aims to support these varied activities by encouraging innovative projects and fostering partnerships with other museums and academic institutions. Tate Papers, an online journal, presents scholarly articles about Tate's collection and programmes.
