Games to play in the gallery

You don’t need to be an expert to look at or talk about art. Don’t feel you have to ‘get it’ to enjoy it – take whatever you like from a piece.

You and your family can try these activities in any of the galleries. Remember its ok to talk at Tate! Its ok to make some noise!

Art Adventurers Town Trail

Are you ready for an art adventure in St Ives? As you follow our map around the town, learn about the artists that lived and worked here.

Pick up a pack from the gallery for £3 with everything you need to explore and get creative.
