Victoria Gallery & Museum

The Grade II listed building, designed by Alfred Waterhouse, has been a central part of university life for over a century. As a celebration of Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture in 2008, the building was carefully renovated and transformed into a public venue for all to enjoy.

Small museum, quite interesting. I really liked the engraving of silver on the dishes of the 19th-20th century, the incredible beauty of the work. There are various expositions, a meditation room - a bright room with visualization of the sky accompanied by calm sounds of nature, paintings, a rather cozy cafe.

My daughter and I are back home ,after a trip down memory lane . The V and A museum is always a pleasure to visit and yesterday we were greeted by lovely 'smiling' Kate, (in reception)who gave us all the help and information we needed: The Cunard exhibition was great!!! We also enjoyed a "feast" of sandwiches, tea and cake in the cafeteria.... second to none!!! Superb , friendly and efficient service . Thank you .

Great exhibition titled "The Descendants," which features people of African descent - many of whom have roots in the city going back many generations. The oral testimonials on the big television screen were an added bonus. Listening to such individuals giving insight into their experiences and perceptions of racism demonstrates that racism continues in this city in covert (and overt) ways. Ray Costello is correct that the Windrush arrival does not mark the black presence on these shores as people of African descent have been in Britain since the Roman era.

I like visiting museums and historical places so since I was visiting Liverpool I had to drop by to see the artwork. To begin with, the building looks stunning! I found this museum interesting and the artwork was incredible. A lovely cozy café past the entrance and very helpful knowledgeable staff. Overall a nice place to visit in Liverpool.
