Perched above Porthmeor Beach, Tate St Ives is a place to discover art, enjoy spectacular sea views and explore St Ives’s extraordinary artistic story.
Step inside to discover the artists who were drawn to St Ives by its distinctive light and landscape, and see how they helped put the town on the international art map. You’ll also find changing exhibitions showcasing modern and contemporary artists from around the world.
There is plenty for families to enjoy too. The Teylu family programme offers activities throughout the year, inviting children and families to explore the gallery, get creative and experience art together through artist-led workshops, playful installations and hands-on making.
The Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden is just a 10-minute walk away, where you can explore the artist’s former home and studio and wander through the garden where many of her sculptures remain.
The rooftop café offers spectacular views across Porthmeor Beach, while the shop has a range of art books, prints and gifts inspired by Tate St Ives, its artists and the Cornish landscape.
