The garden and museum preserve the work of one of St Ives' most revered 20th century artists. Sculptor Barbara Hepworth's studio and workshop are kept much as they were when she lived and worked there. Sculptures in bronze, stone and wood are on display, along with paintings, drawings and archive material.
A good place to visit when the weather isn't up to scratch. This museum can be found on the ground floor of the Town Hall where the original town gaol could be found and a typical cell has been reconstructed along with other town regalia and artefacts.
