ARTIST INFO
We gave three Liverpool-based photographers a sneak preview of the trail and asked them for their visual take on the destinations marked on the Met2Tate map. The fruits of their labour can be seen in the photographs throughout this website. A selection also grace the front cover of the Met2Tate map, providing a colourful and eclectic slice of Liverpool. We hope their handiwork will give you inspiration as you walk the streets of the city with your camera.
