As a child I adored "And when did you last see your father" and "The death of Nelson". My daughters loved "The Lady with the arrow in her booby" (not its real title, obviously). One huge room is dedicated to children who can paint and draw to their hearts content.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17552 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17547
Tate Liverpool, the Site Gallery and many smaller art galleries offer the perfect mix of culture, right next door to the new Arena & Convention Centre. Now the famous Duck Tour and Shiverpool tours are great fun for a day out.

Albert Dock has seen Liverpool grow up in the last 20 years and will remain my favourite place to hang out on a sunny day on the quayside.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17547 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17534 Some of the best new dance I've seen (Memento Mori, Tanya Khabarova).

The best of the Edinburgh fringe and brand spanking new plays so fresh they still creak a little bit.

Occasionally the purveyors of arty nonsense. You can always leg it at the half if it's bad. Some great theatre and the odd hilarious turkey.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17534 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11504
Once inside, you'll find everything from Holbein to Hockney with everything in between.

It's also a great place for kids with regular activities aimed at the little artist in the family (and you don't have to be a master to join in - my two year old loves it!)]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11504 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3091 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3091
