Nottingham Contemporary to open on 14th November 2009
Sir Nicholas Serota, Director of the Tate, visited Nottingham yesterday to make a special announcement. Children from Haydn Primary School helped him unroll a special banner that revealed our opening date - Saturday, 14th November. Sir Nicholas also toured the building, now nearly finished. "Quite simply, it will be one of the best spaces for art and culture anywhere in Europe. It is going to have some of the most beautiful galleries anywhere in the country. The Tate is really delighted to be working with Nottingham Contemporary," he said.
Nottingham Contemporary is a pioneering member of Tate Connects, a new organisation that will let us borrow from the Tate collection and share expertise.
