Judgment by the Tate’s ethics committee means restaurant in room with mural may close
The future of a restaurant at Tate Britain that features a controversial mural is in doubt after a report by the organisation’s own ethics committee said it was “unequivocally … offensive”.
The floor-to-ceiling mural, titled The Expedition in Pursuit of Rare Meats, has been at the heart of a debate about art that contains racist imagery. It is on the walls of the Rex Whistler restaurant, which bears the name of the painter of the work.
