Like the Tate St Ives, we have visited this museum and gardens on several occasions over the years since we were kids…and if you’re visiting one, you may as well visit them both! …
Not too expensive to visit the home of this wonderful artist. Her small garden is dotted with her wonderful sculptures. Definitely worth a visit if you're in St Ives.
A beautiful experience! Stunning artworks in just the perfect garden environment.
We visited with my son, and it was his first taste of true culture.

Early May is a great time to visit this beautiful spot. The cherry blossom and the arum lilies in the garden set off the sculptures beautifully. The house itself has a small collection of interesting art works and a useful introduction to the artist and her work in the entrance area.
The house is the perfect environment in which to display Barbara Hepworth's work. It gives a rare opportunity to see the environment that inspired the artist and observe the genesis of her ideas to the completed work. The sculpture garden …
We really enjoyed our visit: so interesting to learn about the artist's life and see the space in which she lived and worked. Beautiful gardens. Reasonably priced.

A tranquil spot to wander around, the garden is small but perfectly formed. The museum was interesting with lots of information.
On a blustery rainy September day in St Ives, the museum was a lovely haven. Small in size like a gem, it was wonderful to see her studio, her tools, and of course, the finished pieces in the garden. Guides were very generous with their knowledge and time and made the entire experience quite enjoyable.
