The City under one roof

On 19 July 2011 the Liverpool waterfront will welcome its newest addition. The Museum of Liverpool is the largest new build museum in Britain for more than a century. 100 years to the day that the iconic Liver Building opened its doors, the museum will be launched and welcome its first visitors.

The Museum of Liverpool is the world’s first national museum to be devoted to the history of a regional city, reflecting Liverpool’s unique history and culture.

More than 10,000 local people were consulted when deciding on the content of the museum. Amongst the diverse range of exhibits will be the stage where John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met in 1957, the last remaining carriage from the Liverpool Overhead Railway, Ben Johnson’s Liverpool Cityscape and a life-size 18ft tall Liver Bird.

Since our inception we’ve enjoyed a great relationship with National Museums Liverpool (NML), working on a number of successful campaigns (we were even lucky enough to get a sneak peek at how things were shaping up when we attended a fund raising dinner inside the museum last year). We’re proud of our work with NML and look forward to building on this relationship long into the future.

All of us at Bolland & Lowe wish to congratulate everybody who has worked so hard in bringing this museum to the city, we have no doubt that it’ll be a huge success and we can’t wait to visit!
