Down here in the midlands,we had a really good museum for all forms of transport and scientific inventions.The Science Museum was a great place for a family day out,they had full size passenger loco's and all manner of aircraft ,cars ,motorbikes,etc,etc, in fact everything that Birmingham and the midlands was famous for. In the 80's plans were made to turn a section of the city into a "place of scientific ,historic ,artistic and literary learning".
The target was to get it started by the new millenium. And thus was Millenium Point born. A wonderful piece of architectural work. I know, I provided the security for the site.
All of the artifacts were relocated from the old museum site and reinstalled there when it was opened.
When you took your family to the old museum there was no charge,at Millennium Point it will cost the average family ,2+2, £34-00p for a visit.
Just thought I'd let you know,is that going to happen in Liverpool?

The Museum. From the book i've posted up on the 'Some of my old stuff' thread. Although this pic is from 1966, this was still on exhibit well into the late 1970s.

Do you remember that there was a working fire alarm inside a metal bollard?
There was a small sticker on it which sort of told a warning story about a man who once pressed the button and was fined.

I used to love the Aquarium section, do they still have it? I could spend what seemed like hours in there, it was quite a dark quiet corridor and all the tanks had pictures of the fish next to them, you could press the button and the picture would light up.

I don't like the new aquarium, the old one like you describe was much better.

There seems much less in the new museum although it is supposedly twice the size. When I went around it, I thought it had been seriously dumbed down and was aimed at school parties. Nothing wrong with catering for schools but they shouldn't be the only ones catered for.
I loved the old basement with the carriage, bus, fire engine etc. Wasn't the Lion locomotive there too?

Gotta agree with Julie, I was so disappointed when I went round the "new" museum. Seems alot less, more arty type things (They had lots of photo's of Gorilla's when I went). I miss the transport floor and the clock and totem pole that used to go all the way up to the cafe.

I'm so hoping the mann island musuem will contain alot of the old stuff, but I'm not getting my hopes up
