Break the ice this May half-term, with our free family friendly creative activities
Get snowed in, in our learning space this half-term holiday, as we dig deep into the loss of the historic ice age and our current arctic habitats. From melting glaciers to polar ice caps, this exploration of snowscapes in Tate’s collection is only the tip of the iceberg.
So, don’t be left out in the cold this half-term, let your imagination snowball into an avalanche of arctic inspired creations.
Take inspiration from artworks in Tate’s collection, including Anya Gallaccio's White Ice, L.S. Lowry's Winter in Broughton, Briton Riviere's Beyond Man’s Footsteps, Ed Ruscha's Pay Nothing Until April and John Brett's Glacier of Rosenlaui.
Our Learning Space is open every day for visiting families- a space to relax and create with art games, colouring-in, books, toys and more!
Share your experience with us on social media using @tateliverpool and #TLfamilies.
