LIVERPOOL TATE
Housed inside a stunning
converted dock building, Tate
Liverpool will take your breath
away. If the building itself is
awe-inspiring, its exhibits
are every bit as inspiring. A
collection of British art from
the 1500s to the present day
reads like a who’s who of
iconic painters. Traditional and
contemporary artworks occupy
pride of place in the gallery’s
Tate Collection, which is
stocked with exquisite national
treasures. Since opening
in 1988, Tate Liverpool has
welcomed visitors in their
droves, lured by exhibitions of
greats such as Francis Bacon.
Exhibits encompass such
themes as the constellations
of the night sky as represented
through art, the human body,
still life and the natural world. A
highlight of any trip to the Tate
is checking out its final exhibit:
the cafe. The food’s good and
the coffee smells heavenly, but
it’s the art that’ll turn your head.
Designed by British pop artist
Sir Peter Blake, it forms a wall
of bold colours and geometric
shapes. With free admission
and an ever-changing roster
of scintillating exhibits, a day
at Tate Liverpool never ceases
to delight.
