Join us at our home on Liverpool’s spectacular waterfront

Visiting During On the Waterfront Festival, 11–26 June

The museum remains open daily from 10am - 5pm throughout the festival period, and visitors are very welcome as part of the wider waterfront experience.

 

During the festival, access to the museum is via Brunswick Street entrance only. Please note there is no access from the waterfront side of the building or from Water Street.

 

From June 16th  onwards, parking immediately around the museum will be unavailable. The nearest accessible parking bays are located on Mann Island.

 

We recommend allowing a little extra travel time and making the most of the atmosphere around the waterfront during your visit.
