Tate St Ives reopens after chip pan fire
Tate St Ives is back welcoming art lovers as the gallery gets back to normal following a fire over the Bank holiday weekend.
The iconic attraction overlooking Porthmeor Beach in the town had to be evacuated on Monday after a fire broke out in the kitchen.
Close to 300 people were guided to safety by staff as firefighters tackled the accidental blaze.
A gallery spokesperson has confirmed that the artwork in the gallery was undamaged by the smoke from the fire thanks to the quick work by firefighters.
