Over Thirty Years of Exhibits

The Tate Liverpool was opened in 1988 by the then-Prince, Charles III. The occasion was filmed for television by the British Broadcasting Corporation and drew lots of public interest.

As one of four outlets of the Tate institution (the other three being in London and Cornwall), Liverpool’s Tate was selected to display British art from 1500 onwards. Alongside this, it runs a number of other temporary exhibitions. One of the most recent of these is Journeys Through the Tate, which explores themes of migration relevant to the city’s history.
