Tate Liverpool welcomes over 600,000 visitors a year, is the home of the National Collection of Modern Art in the North of England, and one of the largest galleries of modern and contemporary art in the UK, outside London.
Tate Liverpool houses two main types of exhibits: displays from the Tate Collection and special exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. The special exhibition programme brings together works from national and international collections, both public and private. Since the gallery opened in 1988, Tate Liverpool has had over 150 different exhibitions and collection displays of work by hundreds of different artists, some seen for the first time in the UK at Tate Liverpool. Major exhibitions include Salvador Dali: A Mythology (1998), Shopping: A Century of Art and Consumer Culture (2002-03) and Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era (2005). Tate Liverpool hosted the Turner Prize 2007, the first time the prize had been presented outside London since it began in 1984, as a curtain-raiser for Liverpool European Capital of Culture 2008.
A key part of Tate Liverpool's work is delivered by the Learning team. Through a rich programme of activities with a wide range of audiences, the Learning team widen participation and engagement whilst increasing knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts. Tate Learning organise activities and events for groups that include schools, communities, young people, families as well as gallery visitors. While many activities take place at the Gallery, Tate Liverpool also delivers outreach programmes in school and community settings across the city and region.
In May 2008 Tate Liverpool marks its twentieth birthday with a weekend of special events for all the family, as well as a series of projects taking place throughout the year.
Tate Liverpool is the proud winner of the Lever Prize 2008.
