Arts & Culture
The St Ives branch of the Tate Gallery opened its doors in 1993. At the time the building was as much of a talking point as the gallery itself. Overlooking Porthmeor beach this makes a striking visual statement with its iconic circular entrance vestibule.
Head to the gallery to discover it’s collection of contemporary art with an emphasis on the St Ives School and legendary Cornish artists such as Alfred Wallis.

There is little doubt Barbara Hepworth was one of St Ives' most influential artists with works featured in prestigious locations around the world. She is probably best known for her geometric abstract sculptures in bronze, many of which have a hole, a concept she is credited with. The museum and gardens are where Hepworth worked from 1949 until 1975 when she was tragically killed in a fire. Her studios and gardens were opened to the public the following year with much left as it was. The gardens include many examples of her sculptures displayed alongside beautiful subtropical plants.
