The first thing that strikes visitors to the Museum of Liverpool is the exterior: it's an eye-catching modern geometric shape on the side of a restored city centre dock. Inside this acclaimed purpose-built piece of architecture you'll find state-of-the-art galleries and displays about the city. The aim of the Museum of Liverpool is to tell the story of life in the city, its port, its music and art – and even its sporting history. It's free to enter and explore the airy and light interior. It's no wonder that it has already been voted one of the best new museums in Europe.
