Cultural connections at National Museums Liverpool

It's not really surprising that Liverpool is becoming Capital of Culture in 2008 when you consider how well connected the city is. It seems that anyone who's anyone has a link to the city. But did you know how they are all connected to each other?

In a homage to the trivia game 'Six degrees of Kevin Bacon' we now bring you '08 degrees of separation'

For example:

  • In honour of the man himself, see how well Kevin Bacon is connected to our collections.
  • What connects William Roscoe, the man who was a guiding light in the cultural life of the city, with the pilot boat that once guided many ships safely into the port?
  • How are The Beatles connected to another local legend, Ricky Tomlinson?
  • What connects Orlando Bloom, an actor who's made several movies afloat, with the painter of The Scapegoat?
