The new gallery houses a permanent collection of Barbara Hepworth's sculptures, drawings and 44 working models (surviving prototypes in plaster and aluminium made in preparation for Hepworth's works in bronze) – the models were given to the gallery as a family gift via the Art Fund Photograph: Sarah Lee for The Guardian
