Tate Britain: Securing the Future of British Masterpieces

Discover how Arius and Tate partnered to digitize 11 iconic works, creating a high-fidelity roadmap for preservation and global revenue.

The Collaboration

Digital Preservation at Scale

Tate is a global powerhouse of art history, housing the UK’s national collection of British art. To support their mission of making art more accessible, Arius digitized 11 significant works from the Tate Britain archives, including masterpieces by J.M.W. Turner and John Singer Sargent.

This collaboration went beyond documentation; it was an exercise in future-proofing, restoration, and innovation in revenue generation. By capturing the precise 3D surface of 11 artworks, we provided Tate with a suite of Art Digital Master Files (ADMF™). These files serve as a high-fidelity "digital twin" of each painting, securing the collection against the passage of time and opening up unprecedented opportunities for research and retail.

The Technology

Arius’ ADMF data builds a cultural seed bank and creates unmatched value for world-class art collections.

ADMF™ Scanning & Security
Our Art Digital Master File (ADMF) captures billions of data points, creating a “digital twin” of a painting. This creates a permanent, immutable record of authenticity and condition and acts as a digital insurance policy, recording the exact state of a painting for forensic condition reporting and long-term security.
Global Access to Textured Editions
By digitizing their collection, Tate can share masterpieces with researchers and fans worldwide. Our high-fidelity printing technology allows Tate to offer licensed textured prints to a global audience, creating a sustainable income stream.
The Partner

Tate Britain

As the home of British art from 1500 to the present day, Tate Britain houses the world’s greatest collection of works by J.M.W. Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites. Located in London, the gallery is a global cornerstone for art historical research and conservation. Through its commitment to digital innovation, Tate continues to lead the museum sector in finding new ways to preserve national heritage while engaging global audiences through immersive experiences.

“Our partnership with Tate demonstrates the dual power of the ADMF. By capturing the sub-millimetre topography of 11 world-class paintings, we’ve provided the museum with a foundational asset that serves multiple critical purposes. It offers an immutable record for condition reporting and conservation, while simultaneously fueling a new revenue stream through high-quality textured reproductions. This is the future of museum sustainability, where high-tech preservation and commercial innovation work hand-in-hand.”
