Complete waste of time, one floor completely closed off, The other 2 floors filled with absolute junk. How this can be ''art'' is just a joke.do not waste any of your time or energy going to this gallery. Try to Walker Gallery in Town and the other museums nearby. This is a rip off and they are using their London... More

I loved it - wife and kids didn't get it :) Will definitely be back with more time to talk them round.

This is a beautiful museum on a very nice human scale. With only three floors of exhibitions, this museum is about quality and not quantity. We loved the exhibitions on display, and the staff were really helpful in explaining the artwork to us.

Visited the Glam exhibition with a group of friends and I have to say it was disappointing to say the least. There is quite a lot to get through and overall I felt that it was a poor effort. Lots of magazine & album covers and posters and very little else. Towards the end there was some interesting art work.... More

The Tate is a great free museum to spend a bit of time, the art is varied some I thought wow some I thought was pants but that's art. The Glam exhibition is amazing well worth the £8 entry fee, a real fun type of exhibition. I was a kid in the 70's and watched my elder brother get dressed... More

This museum is great. A nice area, free entry and a fantastic array of different exhibitions. Some of the art we saw seemed a bit questionable, but then again everyone's taste in art is different. There is a bit near the top with special exhibits that you have to pay for which is a shame, but all that aside, one... More

Two trips were needed to appreciate the Glam exhibition and to take in the other exhibitions. Once again the Tate Liverpool has provided a thought provoking exhibition that was sure to divide opinion. To those who remember the 70s and were teenagers many were the memories revived both good and bad of the era. The exhibits needed more than a... More

Literally .... rubbish. As usual with Tate galleries, they seem to be full of the most pretentious (lazy) art exhibits you will ever come across: a bit of tiled floor (just like my kitchen!); a business suit and briefcase lying on the floor (just like my bedroom!). A total waste of time .... 1 hour of my life lost!!
