Schools Visits to the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden

Tate St Ives offers a programme of international modern and contemporary art presented in the unique context of St Ives. Situated on Porthmeor Beach, the gallery building celebrates the modernist legacy of the town€™s international artist colony with a broad programme of temporary exhibitions and displays encompassing the re-examination of modernism in St Ives.

The displays at Tate St Ives change three times a year, generally in January, May and October. These temporary exhibitions focus on a particular artist or theme.

Tate St Ives also manages the Barbara Hepworth Museum & Sculpture Garden, which gives a remarkable insight into one of the 2oth century€™s most influential sculptors. Please see the separate page for the Barbara Hepworth Museum & Sculpture Garden for more information.
