THE MUSEUM OF<br />

LIVERPOOL<br />

The Museum of Liverpool explores the city’s contribution to the world<br />

through its unique geography, history and culture, with more than 6,000<br />

objects and interactives. In 2019 the Museum won a public vote in the Kids<br />

in Museums’ Family Friendly Awards in the large museum category.<br />

The Little Liverpool gallery is a hands-on fantasy world especially for children<br />

under the age of six to play and learn. Inside the gallery our youngest visitors<br />

can create their own Liverpool - a city where they are in charge.<br />

The museum opens its much-loved Wondrous Place gallery in November.<br />

The gallery explores the city’s roll call of entertainers, writers, poets,<br />

performers, musicians, visual artists, comedians and sports people through<br />

around 650 objects, interactives and immersive experiences.<br />

Visitors can also marvel at the land transport collection, which includes<br />

more than 200 vehicles ranging from Lion locomotive, built in 1838, to a<br />

Range Rover Evoque from 2011.<br />

No Liverpool museum would be complete without a nod to the Fab Four.<br />

Our collections includes material chronicling the band’s careers from the<br />

early days to solo projects after the band split up.<br />
