Turner Contemporary in Margate, Kent, was designed by David Chipperfield. The project began with the Margate Civic Society and Kent County Council. Construction began in 2008 and it opened on April 16, 2011, with a ceremony hosted by Tracey Emin. The article gives no address, style or materials, and describes a contemporary arts space.

The building is two slanted units joined into one. The downstairs Sunley Gallery is the primary exhibition space. The two slanted units form a single building, and Tracey Emin hosted the opening ceremony on April 16, 2011.

The Minimalism tag is an assumption based on the architect, not the article. The museum stands in Margate on the Kent coast, and the article lists its coordinates as 51°23′20″N 1°22′48″E.
