Museum of Liverpool
About This Museum
Did you know the Museum of Liverpool is the world's first national museum devoted to the history of a regional city? It’s this absolutely striking, modern building right on the iconic Pier Head, looking like a pyramid of glass and stone that somehow landed perfectly by the water. Inside, it’s a total love letter to the city, bursting with stories about everything from The Beatles and football to its global port connections. You don't just look at things here; you get pulled into the vibrant, noisy, and brilliant history of the place.
Collection Highlights
You can see a massive Lion locomotive from the old railway, explore a full-scale reconstruction of a 1930s street, and dive into exhibits on how Liverpool's music—from Merseybeat to today—shaped the world.
Visitor Information
It's completely free to get in, which is fantastic. Just head down to the Pier Head at Mann Island; you really can't miss it.
Architecture & Building
A purpose-built, angular structure with sweeping curves, clad in Jura limestone and vast panes of glass that reflect the famous waterfront.
