Hepworth Wakefield, Art museum in Wakefield, England
The Hepworth Wakefield features ten trapezoidal blocks clad in pigmented concrete, housing modern and contemporary art exhibitions across 1,600 square meters of gallery space.
The museum opened in 2011 as a successor to the Wakefield Art Gallery, which started in 1923 with a collection spanning from Old Masters to twentieth-century works.
The permanent collection includes 44 plaster and aluminum working models from Barbara Hepworth, alongside works by Henry Moore, Ben Nicholson, and David Hockney.
The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with free admission for Wakefield District residents and individuals under 18.
The building received recognition as the United Kingdom's Museum of the Year in 2017 and houses the biennial Hepworth Prize for Sculpture, established in 2015.
