    Default Large objects warehouse

    Yes Rob, please keep us informed about that. I am surprised that the new museum will only increase the large objects on show to 6%. I should think they should open that large objects store up more regularly if it was practical to do so. Do the NMGL own the warehouse or rent it I wonder?

    Default Large Objects.

    Include me in as well, please.
    I went to the Prince's Dock years ago, and have always regretted not taking photos.
    Does all the old transport (buses, etc.) survive?

    Ohhhh indeedy!!!

    Thats sounds brilliant, I'm sure for a lot of us to see those Exhibits would be a massive trip down memory lane.

    If that's possible please let us all know. I'm sure there'll be a lot more of us who will turn out if we pass the word around the site.... Thanks mate

    In the old museum, inside the entrance there used to be a massive long banner/poster of the Liverpool waterfront from centuries ago ( least i think it was centuries ) on the wall.

    Question is - Anyone know where that went? I'd love to see it again.

    It was an enlargement of a six foot long fold-out engraving by T Sulman issued in 1865 by the Illustrated London News - there's an original one on sale here if you've got £300:

    And a not very big reproduction of it here:

    A reprint was included in one of the Scouse Press "Liverpool Packet" collections of maps and views that used to be sold in the museum shop in the 1980s.

    Default large objects museum

    only went in there once with my dad and I loved it. sadly didn't have a camera then.
    took this in the 90's after it had closed.


    would love to be able to see some of the exhibits again, hope they find somewhere for them.

    Only just seen this thread.
    What memories!

    I actually bought an old Kings Regiment booklet from Ebay last week, from the old museum.

    What have they done to it now?! I'm sorry, but I think the new museum is terrible.

    I loved the massive old doll house they had in the foyer, remember that?!
    The money fountain too!

    The mummies were always my favourite. Anyone remember that massive man on a horse or something? It used to scare the life out of me!!!!!

    The transport section in the basement always fascinated me.
    I always wanted to get on that old train in the middle!

    Are we still going on a visit?!!! Please!!!

    The man on the horse - I think that was a Sudanese Warrior.
    Remember the old street with the copper and the red button you pressed to hear live 'sounds' from the street? That was excellent...
