Breathe in and out with Barbara Hepworth's Sculpture Garden. Located a stone's throw from the sea in St Ives, the rustle of the trees and calls of seagulls provide a soundscape for the sunny oasis full of sculptures, creating a space which Hepworth herself called 'a sort of magic'. 🍃 We can't wait to welcome you back when we reopen. | Tate
