For 10 weeks in Spring 2023 the Art Explora Mobile Museum took artworks from Tate’s collection directly to school and community groups across the Liverpool City Region.

A collaboration with Art Explora, Tate and MuMo, the Mobile Museum aimed to make great art accessible to everyone.

The Mobile Museum toured a version of the exhibition Radical Landscapes, first shown at Tate Liverpool in Summer 2022 and it featured works by JMW Turner, John Constable, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, John Nash and many more. The Mobile Museum also included artworks by leading contemporary artists such as 2022 Turner Prize winner Veronica Ryan and shortlisted artist, Ingrid Pollard.

Invited groups in St Helens, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral, Halton and Liverpool were introduced to the artworks on the Mobile Museum then invited to join creative workshops to create their own masterpieces.

Some groups were also able to hear directly from the artists on board with Peter Kennard, John Davies, Ingrid Pollard and Jeremy Deller joining the tour to meet school children from across the region on the Mobile Museum.

This tour of the Mobile Museum is brought to you by Art Explora, a non-profit arts organization, in collaboration with Tate and MuMo. MuMo ('Mobile Museum') was founded by Ingrid Brochard, designed by matali crasset, with the support of the Fondation Daniel et Nina Carasso. This project is supported by Art Explora with public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
