Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden

The Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, located in St. Ives, Cornwall, celebrates the life and work of one of Britain’s most important 20th-century artists. The museum is set in the very home and studio where Barbara Hepworth lived and worked from 1949 until her death in 1975, offering a rare insight into her creative world.

Explore her original workshop, view her equipment and supplies, and stroll amid her eye-catching sculptures tucked away in the subtropical garden she created. Guests can experience the bronzes in the environment she envisioned—harmonizing with light and nature—because many of them are on display just as she intended. A must-visit for art enthusiasts and those interested in modernist sculpture, the museum is small and inspirational and is run by Tate.
