Architecture & Heritage

Culture is everywhere in Liverpool and no more than in its bricks and mortar. After The Beatles and its football clubs Liverpool is renowned for its architecture.

2 Cathedrals

Liverpool is a city that could re-invent itself as a living museum and you don't have to go far to immerse yourself in the architecture and heritage of the city. The Three Graces on its docks, the Walker Art Gallery, the magnificent Anglican Cathedral and modernist Metropolitan Cathedral, the Philharmonic Hall, with its amazing interior, the newly refurbished St George's Hall... the list goes on. The city also strengthens its relevance with contemporary architecture by staging the 12th RIBA Stirling Prize in November.

THE BEAT GOES ON
12 July - 1 November 08
Liverpool's unique place in popular culture is the inspiration behind this exhibition. It will showcase Merseyside's vibrant music scenes, bands and fans that over the past 60 years have played a major part in the city's life. From the Cavern to Creamfields, from Billy Fury to The Zutons, the exhibition will pay tribute to our very own 'Capital of Pop'.

THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS OF SONG
November 08
'The Rightful Owners of Song' is a simple idea...it will bring together a group of Liverpool 'pub-singers', and 'karaoke-hosts'; professional or semiprofessional singers for a one-off performance, with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
