This colourful painting is typical of Edward Wadsworth’s still lifes. Although never a Surrealist, his paintings incorporated disconcerting imagery, resulting in strange, dreamlike scenes. http://ow.ly/FeH330lWs7Q

Yes really enjoyed my visit to the Tate. The artist currently viewing was not to my taste but had a wonderful cream tea in the cafe, the place was disabled friendly and the shop
was enjoyable to browse. Lovely and warm inside and staff very helpful.
Visited this afternoon (2nd May) with Sue. After having a rather rustic lunch in the cafe, we walked floor after floor after floor.
There wasn’t and exhibition that we didn’t visit and to say my photography mindset was inspired is an understatement.
I have taken a few images today and I would like to share a few with you once they have been edited.
The tea on the top floor is an ingenious exhibit �
Thank You for having such a space to share art �
Perfect room, great setting for a wonderful, inspirational collection. Highly recommend. Thank you.
I love taking my kids to the Tate and seeing their reactions to the art on display. Whether it’s to our taste or not it can be a lot of fun and give us plenty to talk about. The Lichtenstein work was the highlight this time round.
Great location on the waterfront, and we enjoy each visit. The cafe did some good food, though the German couple next to us could not imagine how the Goulasch could be Vegan!
Fantastic museum in an equally fantastic, funky location. An absolute must for visitors to the wonderful city of Liverpool. So many interesting exhibits. We especially loved the thought-provoking We Are Ghosts. Unusual, but so multi-layered. And expertly, intelligently and eloquently explained by one of the curators.
An excellent couple of hours. Knowledgeable staff helped with explanations and made the trip for myself and 8 year old granddaughter an absolute pleasure. The rocket packs for kids are brilliant
Went primarily to see The Lichtenstein exhibition,which I enjoyed. The accompanying video was interesting and informative . However a suit on a hanger,a pile of clothes or a line of old irons,wasn’t my thing. But don’t get me
Started on the video of the man in the darkened area. I know art is subjective and each to their own,but not sure the warning to the video was large enough to help parents with young children of the content. The staff are friendly and attentive. The shop had some reasonably priced items. Overall,the gallery is well worth a visit.
The experience was really great. My one year old and four year old loved playing in the video room and drawing their own pictures and I will take them back - especially as it’s free. Sadly though, I suspect both children could have produced better works of art than some displayed in the gallery.
Some great interactive exhibitions - so good for children. I liked the art on the theme of work - Lowry etc - not so keen on some of the contemporary art though.
Some great art there friendly helpful staff great day out and a good experience for a small donation
Loved seeing Lichenstein work..and the building is fantastic. Great shop and cafe just wish it was bigger.
Im not a modern art lover as im a traditional art fan i did like Roy Lichenstein the gallery and staff were impressive and the cafe served good quality food and drink at reasonable prices
Excellent facilities & free entry into some exhibits. I must not appreciate art at all though because I couldn’t find anything to my taste & was very disappointed with the lack of any guidance
Were a little disappointed yesterday I must say � The one that should show us around were sick and that’s ok, they then us up to second floor and said it will be a speak there, but we didn’t see it!�� I am here from Norway and saw it advertised on Facebook ��
Thought most of the stuff in there was lazy and pretentious. Not my sort of thing and don't consider videography and photography as art in the same way as painting/sketching/drawing etc and also sculpture. Each to their own I guess and this is just my opinion. Location is good, exterior of building ok, inside a bit drab like most of the work on display. Cafe was reasonable and a good place to have lunch.
Only popped into the cafe and that was poor but expensive! Tables weren’t cleaned well if at all. Cake was dry and a large cuppa was like a small version! £1.60 a can of coke! Should of stuck to Costa as least you know what you get, which would of been cheaper and more tasty! Hey ho! That’s change for You!
The building is lovely and it's setting in Albert Dock is great. The cafe was good, with quick and efficient service. As for the "art"... aside from a few pieces, describing most of the exhibits as such was an insult to the intelligence. I was frankly appalled at most of the "work" on display. Labelling flat irons like battleships does not make them art , nor does piling rags next to a statue. I was staggered to hear people extolling the virtues of things I myself could have thrown together in minutes with no thought or which looked like the product of someone who is mentally ill. Don't get me started on the video of the man with the prosthetic nose farting! My daughters both studied art and I find it a crying shame that exhibitions of work by themselves and their peers which showed far more artistic talent may never be seen by a wider audience but this dross is given such a platform. Who tells these people they are talented for goodness sake? I am convinced these "artists"are laughing at all of those who come to view this stuff. It is indeed like the emperor's new clothes and I am telling you that he is naked!
Not for me sorry. Each to their own but children do better art at school. Their was one painting on show and all it was, was half black half grey looked like a toddler had done it. The cafe was the best bit. The Museum of Liverpool is so much better.
