    Default Two exhibitions that relate to Liverpool and its past...

    Hello,

    Just dropping in to tell you about two exhibitions happening at some of the National Museums Liverpool venues!

    The first is the current exhibition at Merseyside Maritime Museum, called 'Magical History Tour', which explores Liverpool’s fascinating 800-year history. The second is a forthcoming exhibition at National Conservation Centre, beginning later in August, consisting of unique photographs of The Beatles, never-before seen in Liverpool, taken in 1965 by Michael Peto.

    All exhibitions are of course absolutely free!

    Read on for more information on both exhibitions.

    Thanks,

    Lisa.
