The Museum of Liverpool

The Museum of Liverpool highlights Liverpool’s worldwide importance through its unique location, the history of the city and through its culture. Visitors can learn about the history of the port, and explore how its people, along with their creative and sporting history, have molded the city of Liverpool into what it is today.
The Museum of Liverpool was designed specifically to replace the highly successful and award-winning Museum of Liverpool Life, which opened in 1993 and was housed in the Pilotage and Salvage Association buildings on Liverpool’s waterfront. It featured three principal galleries: ‘Making a Living’, ‘Demanding a Voice’ and ‘Mersey Culture’. But with over 300,000 visitors per year, it became so popular that it was clear a larger dedicated space was required to accommodate the ever-expanding collection, and so the project to build The Museum of Liverpool was born. Since its construction, it has won several awards, including 2013’s Council of Europe Museum Prize.
