Hidden art galleries outside London
Eight regional galleries with world-class collections.
London dominates British public art collections, but the regional galleries — Tate Liverpool, the Hepworth Wakefield, MIMA Middlesbrough, the New Art Gallery Walsall, Compton Verney — hold work that would be flagship in most national collections. Each is in a building that's a destination in its own right.
