The Tate museums in London, Liverpool, and St Ives have announced their exhibition plans for 2027. This includes major shows featuring famous artists like Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, and David Hockney.

Tate Britain will also feature a David Hockney show, opening in October. This exhibition will include over 200 paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs, along with his digital media experiments. Other shows at Tate Britain include Sonya Boyce (March 24–August 22), Thomas Gainsborough (May 20–October 10), and an exhibition on the Tudors (November 18–April 23).
Tate Liverpool is set to reopen in 2027 after being closed for four years. The first exhibition in the renovated space will be a retrospective of Chila Kumari Singh Burman, a British-Indian artist from Liverpool. Helen Legg, Tate Liverpool director, noted that Burman is known for her "irreverent pop and punk inspired works in kaleidoscopic colour, infused with glitter and neon." Her art explores Indian and British cultural heritage, as well as themes of gender, class, and identity.
Tate St Ives in Cornwall will present two major shows. From May to September 26, it will feature recent work and a new site-specific piece by Kazakh artist Gulnur Mukazhanova. In the fall, the museum will host an exhibition of works by artists nominated for the Turner Prize. The winner of this annual award for a British artist will be announced in December 2027.
