Uniqlo to open pop-up shop at Tate Modern as part of 25th anniversary celebrations

Uniqlo will be opening a pop-up shop at the Tate Modern from 5 May 2025, with special ‘Birthday Weekender’ celebrations across 9-12 May for the art gallery’s 25th anniversary.

A special Uniqlo Tate UTme! limited-edition collection of T-shirts, featuring artwork such as Salvador Dalí’s ‘Lobster Telephone’, Louise Bourgeois’ giant bronze spider, ‘Maman’, as well as artwork from new Tate exhibitors including Ayoung Kim, will be available to purchase at the pop-up - set to run up to 16 September 2025.

For the Birthday Weekender, visitors will also be treated to headline music acts, performances, talks, workshops, tours, interactive art and a host of free experiences - from tarot readings to film screenings – alongside special food and drink offers.

Koji Yanai, Group Senior Executive Officer at Uniqlo owner Fast Retailing, said, "We are honoured and proud to strengthen our global partnership with Tate Modern during their 25th birthday celebrations.

"This deep relationship with one of the world's greatest museums is an expression of the Uniqlo LifeWear philosophy of ‘Art For All’. We look forward to welcoming customers into the first Uniqlo Tate Shop, where they can experience an in-store arts programme alongside our LifeWear products."

Karin Hindsbo, Director of Tate Modern, added: "Tate Modern’s birthday isn’t just a moment to reflect on 25 years at the cutting edge - it’s a chance to keep pushing artistic boundaries and to give a platform to the next generation.

"Our birthday weekend (running from 9-12 May) will be a truly public celebration of art and creativity to which everyone is invited. We are incredibly grateful to our longstanding partner, Uniqlo, for their support of the Birthday Weekender, reflecting our shared values and belief that art is for everyone."

Additionally, the store will feature popular Uniqlo services such as a UTme! personalised T-shirt station, including personalised embroidery, and will offer the limited-edition Tate UTme! T-shirt collection alongside select Uniqlo items.
