Tate Liverpool opened in 1988 as the Tate Gallery Liverpool. The early education programme at Tate Liverpool involved close links with the exhibition programme and a pioneering outreach programme was also developed (Mobile Art Programme) to work with schools, colleges and community centres. In 2007-2008 the education function across all Tate sites was renamed 'Tate Learning', reflecting wider audiences and signifying a shift in thinking and approach. At Liverpool, interpretation was embedded in the team in 2005.
