    Armada sails into Tate Liverpool at heart of new display

    A new free display at Tate Liverpool examines the city’s relationship with migration – and its centrepiece is artist Hew Locke’s stunning suspended installation Armada. It is the first time the work, which is made up of a flotilla of model boats and craft, has been on show at Tate since it was acquired by the organisation three years ago.
