The Museum of Liverpool was a bit overwhelming for me. There’s a lot to see in the museum.. and they pretty much jam all sorts of history in there. I’m pretty sure we missed a lot of it since we got there later in the afternoon. But we did get an overview of the rise and fall of Liverpool as a “great” city, and how the city was affected by world events such as the Industrial Revolution and WWII.
Liverpool Bird (not an actual bird.. but based on many different birds)
Poetry on doors
Model of a Church that was never built
Liverpool fashion (sorry for the glare)
Model of the Three Graces
Punch and Judy
SUPERLAMBANANA!
We watched a short documentary called “The Power and the Glory?”, which pretty much gave us a (very quick) history of England and Liverpool… how Liverpool grew because of trading (import/export) overseas, and how the decline of the British Empire eventually led to the downsizing of the city… It was quite fascinating.
