Port, Creative, People and Global (if I remember correctly) There are lots of interchangable spaces for temporary exhibitions as well as some long term static ones. There will be four massive windows, each looking out into different aspects, ie - one towards the city, one facing out to the Mersey etc, it's just a pity there isn't a basement to allow even more square footage for additional items. If anyone liked the old MoLL, they'll love this.

I agree that the proposed Cloud was an eyesore that looked for all the world like a deflated football or doughnut. It certainly would have detracted from the beauty of the Three Graces. The new design for the museum, first being white and sitting low, is much more in keeping with the existing buildings at the Pier Head and we should be grateful for that. At least an unpopular and unappealing design is not being foisted on the citizens of Liverpool. Hooray.
