Wonderful collection of Barbara Hepworth sculpture, and insights into her life's work. Plus many other artists' work and ceramics. Cafe with creative and tasty menu. Beautiful garden.
Fantastic in every sense. Brilliant building, great permanent collection and really interesting exhibitions. The garden is beautiful and the cafe sets the standard for what museum/gallery food + drink should be.
Fantastic place with a brilliant collection of Hepworth’s works. The cafe is great too! Enjoy the food and tea there. Can spend a whole day and so much to explore.
