Tate Liverpool

Mostly free for main exhibitions with paid tickets for special exhibitions, but a good range of discounts. Have always found them good value personally. Galleries are wheelchair and pram/buggy accessible; baby change facilities available, accessible toilets, lockers, lift access to all floors; ipod audio guides available to hire which I usually find interesting and informative; children's activity guides available on requests; nice gift shop and cafe, which can handle complex dietary requirements. The collection is in a lovely building with great views out over the river Mersey, if you need a break from the artworks.

One of my favourite places in the world... to be fair I love the Tate Modern London more (it's bigger after all)... but this place always makes me happy... nearly always decent temporary free exhibitions on - and great free informative talks too... the recent Roy Lichtenstein one was fascinating and really changed my views... The location of the Tate doesn't hurt either - always look forward to my next visit here...

Fantastic museum not up to the standards of the Tate in London but still has some great pieces of work. Most of the exhibits are free of charge but they do have a few floors of paid exhibitions. Located in the beautiful Albert sock on the bank of the river Mersey this is a must place to visit while in Liverpool. I would recommend going in the morning as it’s a little quieter.

Soon after visiting the Tate Modern in London I visited the Tate in Liverpool. In Liverpool even the men's hand wash basins are artistic. This old warehouse has strong vaulted ceiling supporting heavily loaded floors above. Arching in two directions the masonry is magnificent. beautifully laid stone blocks that must have been supported during construction by amazingly complex and exact wooden formwork. Both lost arts today.

A lot of very strange art. Not sure it was particularly to my taste but it certainly a talking point. The staff were very happy to explain the art to us. Overall it was a pleasant 2 hour trip and I'm glad I've been.
