Day-time in Liverpool
Culture & Heritage
As the city builds on its growing reputation as European Capital of Culture 2008, Liverpool’s cultural offering is now getting the exposure it deserves.
The jewel in the crown is the amazing Walker. Considered the national gallery of the North, it has an enviable collection of internationally important art and is rich in European Old Masters.
Tate Liverpool in Albert Dock caters for more contemporary tastes, home to the national collection of modern art in the North.
Take a step back in time and discover the city’s colourful history at the Museum of Liverpool Life. From the Grand National to football, the museum reflects the unique character of Liverpool and its contribution to the world.
New to the collection is FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), which supports and displays film and new media projects.
You’ll be amazed by Liverpool’s extraordinary wealth of museums and art galleries – most of which are free – which merely scratch the surface of the city’s rich artistic and creative culture.
The city also boasts some of the most impressive architecture in Europe. From the Greco Roman splendour of St George’s Hall to the two imposing cathedrals, the city is blessed with fine buildings representing its significant past and exciting future.
