Tate
Tate Liverpool serves as both an art gallery and a museum. It was developed to showcase work from the Tate Collection and now includes British art from the year 1500 to present day, as well as international modern art. Temporary exhibitions are often held at the gallery, and until 2003, Tate Liverpool was the largest gallery of modern and contemporary art in the United Kingdom outside of London.

The museum and gallery are open to the public Tuesday to Saturday each week and offer free admission. The ground floor includes the Waterhouse Café and shop, with the first floor containing an array of paintings, sculptures and ceramics.
