Museum of Liverpool on the road
17 to 18 November 2007 (please note that these objects are no longer on display)
While the new Museum of Liverpool is being built, we are touring some of its fantastic collections ‘on the road’. You can now see some extraordinary and iconic items on display at unexpected venues across the city. See further details on the Museum of Liverpool on the road homepage.

"Meccano gives boys the secrets of the world's wonderful engineering structures"
Frank Hornby
The 'Frank Hornby Experience' is an annual event celebrating the life and achievenments of Maghull's most famous resident. The weekend features static and working models of the Binns Road products including Meccano, Hornby trains and Dinky. There is also a Hornby Heritage Trail around local places of interest, including Hornby's homes and final resting place.
The objects shown on this page were loaned to the Frank Hornby experience in 2007. There are no loans from National Museums Liverpool's collections to the 2008 event, which takes place 10am-5pm on 15 and 16 November 2008, but there will still be plenty to see and do there.
