Tate Liverpool

It would be tempting to believe that this museum of modern art is a recent branch of the Tate Modern in London. Yet this Liverpool art institution opened in 1988, long before its London counterpart. Some experts go so far as to credit this museum of being more daring than that found in Britain’s capital! Showcasing modern and contemporary art, the Tate Liverpool presents the works of artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol; but it also presents a collection of British art dating back to the sixteenth century as well as some performances. It spans four levels of one of the beautifully refurbished warehouses on Liverpool’s Albert Dock.
