Tate Liverpool is an art museum located within the Albert Dock on Liverpool’s waterfront. It has three “sister” museums: the Tate Britain and Tate Modern in London and the Tate St. Ives in Cornwall. The Tate Liverpool was created to display works from the Tate’s National Collection of British art dating back to the year 1500, as well as international modern art. Past artists featured in its temporary exhibit spaces include: Gustav Klimt, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Claude Monet, and its large permanent displays from the National Collection are free of charge.
Until 2003, Tate Liverpool was the largest gallery in the United Kingdom outside of London to feature modern and contemporary art, and is still one of the most popular, with around 4 million visitors a year. The museum was first opened in 1988 and given a major refurbishment in 1998, which created additional gallery space. In 2007, the foyer area was also updated, including the hospitality, events and education areas.
