The Museum of Liverpool in Liverpool, England, opened on 19 July 2011 (with parts due to open later in the year) and is part of the National Museums Liverpool group.

National Museums Liverpool intention is for the new venue to tell the story of Liverpool and its people, and reflect the city’s global significance. The museum is housed in a new purpose-built building on the Mann Island site at the Pier Head. The museum replaces the Museum of Liverpool Life, which closed in June 2006.

The museum, designed by architects 3XN and engineers Buro Happold, was expected to cost £72 million and provide 8,000 square metres of exhibition space, housing more than 6,000 objects.[1] There are also plans to have flexible spaces that regularly change to enable National Museums Liverpool to show more of their collections.
