Tate Liverpool

Tate Liverpool, the Tate’s first provincial branch, opened in 1988. It is devoted entirely to modern art, which is shown in a section of the Albert Docks, a 19th-century structure specially converted into a gallery by James Stirling. Displays consist of works from the Tate’s permanent collections exhibited in Liverpool on a yearly changing basis, as well as exhibitions of contemporary art and touring shows from Britain and abroad.
