About this audio guide
This guide to Tate Liverpool, in a warehouse on the Royal Albert Dock, starts with a single white sugar cube and the Victorian refiner whose name is on the door. It follows Henry Tate from a grocer's apprenticeship in Liverpool into the sugar business, and asks who really paid for the fortune behind a national art gallery. Best heard standing outside, facing the Doric columns and the dock water.
