Opened in 2011, the Museum of Liverpool celebrates the city's unique geography, history, and culture using displays related to the port and its people. 

Collections include period costumes and decorative art, as well as objects representing the city's social and urban history, along with oral testimonies, archaeological material, and photos. 

The museum is also home to the famous Lion steam engine, built in 1838 and star of the film The Titfield Thunderbolt.
