The Museum of Liverpool Life closed its doors on 4 June 2006. We are currently building a brand new Museum of Liverpool, which is expected to open in 2011.

In the Albert Dock you can go to the Merseyside Maritime Museum and the International Slavery Museum, which are both situated in the same building, a short walk from where the Museum of Liverpool Life used to be.
