Our work with Tate Liverpool has been particularly successful in inspiring participation from across the University. Collaborative projects enable academics and students from a range of departments, including computer science, archaeology and linguistics, to take advantage of opportunities to enrich their research and to contribute to the cultural life of the city.
Our award-winning partnership with Tate Liverpool is built around the common goals of broadening participation in art and culture and increasing our impact among diverse audiences. One of the unique aspects of our partnership is our ability to bring a rich variety of research perspectives to Tate’s exhibitions.
We are currently recruiting for the 2024/25 student ambassadors.
Tate Liverpool + RIBA North
You can now find Tate Liverpool at RIBA North, Mann Island, while their Royal Albert Dock home is temporarily closed for redevelopment.
The new space is smaller than the building on the Dock. Visitors can enjoy two small galleries and a family area. They have family activities alongside talks, tours and creative workshops. All events and activities are inspired by the unique collections held by Tate and RIBA.
University of Liverpool staff and students will still be able to enjoy the same benefits as the gallery shop has also relocated to RIBA North, providing a complete visitor experience.
