It has also been shortlisted for World Building of the Year 2011 and is in the running for the OpenBuildings People’s Choice Award. But whether you like it or not doesn't really matter - that is just a matter of taste. The fact that it attracted a quarter of a million people in its first month of opening to an area of the city that was previously practically deserted is what is important.
And 'stuff' the polls..

What's in the Museum of Liverpool might be great but the building is an eyesore and a blot on the view of the fine buildings that stood nobly on the Pier Head before it was built. It had the bad architecture award coming.

As Howie stated though,that's surely a matter of taste? Each to their own,and I'm just glad to see so many people down there!
Personally, I don't mind the architecture. I prefer the view of it across the dock than from the Pier Head - looks sleeker, and it is certainly less offensive than its black neighbours. Though, as I said, it is nice to see Mann Island coming back into use.
It was fairly busy,the other day! I think the space enclosed by the black building,and the museum,give a different atmosphere/perspective to that area,with the stepped area down to the canal,attracting more than a few,just to watch the barges pass! You can the walk through, to the view of the three graces,which is as good as it could be,with the modern buildings behind you,so in effect,two different/seperate open spaces!
Anyone interested to know more about the narrow boats...

I don't much care for the building tbh and certainly despise the black slabs nearby but I feel I want to defend 'our' museum now! How dare they give it 2nd prize in Carbuncle awards! I've seen a lot worse...........

Liverpool is a testing ground...thats what it is and the town planning developers should be hung drawn and quartered.
Pray do tell where they got that figure from? a large fairground put in that area would have drawn in the crowds as well but 2 years on and it will be slightly remote again....its new its the talk of the town and everyone wants a butchers at it....so when the excitement has died down so will the area.a quarter of a million people in its first month of opening to an area of the city that was previously practically deserted is what is important.
