Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, St Ives

4.7

#1 of 91 in Museums in Cornwall

A typical stone house in St. Ives on the outside, Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden reveals the creative hub of an artist on the inside. The living room's original furnishings remain as they were left while the artist's workshop holds half-finished paintings, tools, and materials. The garden beside the house is another work of art that was designed by Hepworth and friend Priaulx Rainier, the South-African composer.

The gardens are small but immaculately taken care of. The sculptures are, of course, outstanding. If you can stay for the tour then do it as it was really very good.

As a true fan of dame Barbara Hepworth's work, the museum may be small but is absolutely breathtaking, it feels like being transported to another world when you step into the garden

Absolutely amazing. Feels like Barbara has just left the garden to pop to town. Information sheets available and staff on hand if you have questions. Perfect Spot to take in the sun and enjoy the peace and quiet that inspired this great artist

Every time we visit Cornwall we go to Babara Hepworth's house. If you can visit off season it's wonderfully less busy. The sculptures in the garden are stunning. Her studio that you get to peer through the window at is amazing and so monochromatic its nearly all white from the plater and I really love the green house above the studio. The art pack you can get for the kids is great as there is modelling material which may distract them long enough to really appreciate the garden.
