Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden
Barbara Hepworth Museum
The former studio of sculptor Barbara Hepworth, with more than twenty of her original bronze and stone works in its small garden. It is managed by Tate.
Hepworth lived and worked here from 1949 until her death in 1975. Her studio has been kept as it was, with her tools and unfinished stone still in place. A small garden surrounded by subtropical plants holds more than 20 bronze and stone sculptures, making it the quietest corner of St Ives. Admission is about £10, and a combined ticket with Tate St Ives is available. The spaces are small, and there are queues in peak season, so it is advisable to book a timed slot.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–17:20 (closed Mondays in winter)
