David Chipperfield Architects
The Hepworth Wakefield stands as a contemporary art gallery dedicated to Barbara Hepworth, the celebrated English sculptor born in Wakefield in 1903. The gallery carries forward the legacy of the original Wakefield Art Gallery, established in 1934, which gained recognition as one of Britain's most progressive cultural institutions.
The purpose-built facility continues this innovative spirit, housing significant collections while championing emerging contemporary artists. Its comprehensive programming includes community engagement initiatives and educational activities that have earned widespread acclaim, culminating in the prestigious UK Museum of the Year Award in 2017.
