Online exhibitions

These special online exhibitions bring together items from all of National Museums Liverpool's diverse venues. Each one features a selection of objects about a specific theme. They illustrate the breadth of our collections and allow you to see what each venue contains, all in one place. The items displayed include some of our rarest, most unusual and most popular pieces.

These objects are not displayed together in any of our buildings. Some of them are not on display at all. They can only be seen in these unique web exhibitions. More exhibitions will be added throughout the year, so come back to see what's new.
