BARBARA HEPWORTH MUSEUM AND SCULPTURE GARDEN

Barbara Hepworth is one of the great names in British abstract sculpture. She worked with Henri Moore, Picasso, Mondrian... She lived in St Ives from 1949 until her death in 1975. Her studio has been preserved as it was at the time, and the museum, consisting of two rooms and a graceful garden, exhibits some of her sculptures in wood, stone or bronze. It is in the latter that the artist's greatest works are housed, between forms and volumes, animal and vegetal.
