My daughter wanted an interesting day out, well that was the request. I told her we would go to the Museum of Liverpool, so that we can learn more about the city we live in, she thought we were going shopping….
I actually worked on the pre planning application for the museum many years ago. The company I worked for produced the planning CGI images taken from various locations across the city. This was my first visit, and it did not disappoint.
The stone cladding looks absolutely stunning, the undulation of the form on the main cladding give it a great effect across the façade, you cant help but be impressed as you follow the seam lines that guide your eye to the historic Liver Building.
The content stands up to the building, well it would its all about our great city, the displays are informative, and interactive. We were more than entertained for a fair few hours. My only crit is that whoever decided to place the café on the ground floor and not behind one of the two huge windows at either end so that you can take in the amazing views, really should hang their heads in shame.
The Museum is free to enter, and well worth the visit a view shared by my 7 year old daughter.
