A remarkable insight into the work and outlook of one of the UK’s most important 20th century artists. One Hepworth’s home and studio see her Sculptures in bronze, stone and wood in the museum and garden along with paintings, drawings and archive material.

This is a must if you are interested in art and the St Ives set. Usually you can buy an art pass combined with Tate St Ives and Leach pottery studio which makes entry cheaper!

The Barbara Hepworth Museum was opened in 1976 by Hepworth's family, following the wishes expressed in her will. The Museum has been owned and run by Tate since 1980. It contains the largest group of Hepworth's works, permanently on display at Trewyn Studio and garden where she lived and worked from 1949 until her death in 1975. The monumental Walk Through in the garden of the Museum was the subject of a major conservation project in May 2017, fifty years after Hepworth placed it there. The variety of patination present in this work, including the golden hollows, is once again visible following years of weathering in the marine environment. Cleaning and waxing has also brought out the tool marks that were made by Hepworth over the surface in the wet plaster prototype from which the bronze was cast. The project was based on new research and conservation techniques, which have also been employed in the conservation of The Family of Man at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in recent years. In April 2016 the fortieth anniversary of the Barbara Hepworth Museum was marked by the commission of a new composition by Leo Geyer, Guarea, which was premiered there. Written for solo violin, it was inspired by three guarea wood carvings of the 1950s, Delos, Corinthos and Delphi. The two exterior studios, used for carving and working in plaster for bronze, were the subject of an important conservation project by Tate in 2013-14, to enable them to be preserved, enjoyed and re-interpreted for the future.
