Museum of Liverpool on the road
20 October 2007 to 6 January 2008 (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.
Grosvenor Museum, Chester
The Victorian period was a time of tremendous industry and endeavour, so what better way to ease the physical and mental strains of the hectic world than to embrace the freedoms and ever advancing opportunities of escapism. This exhibition (which has now closed) demonstrated how the Victorians used progress both to advance in the world and to retreat further into their imaginations.
Further details are available on the Grosvenor Museum website.
Follow the links below to see four of the items that were loaned to the exhibition from the Museum of Liverpool's collections.
A political poster relating to funerals within the large Irish community in Liverpool 1867 (not illustrated) was also on loan.
