"Varied and changing displays to suit everyone"
Overview
The Victoria Gallery & Museum (VG&M) is the flagship building of the University of Liverpool. Known as the original ‘red brick University’ building, this Alfred Waterhouse designed landmark now houses the weird and wonderful collections that have been bequeathed or bought over the University’s 130 year history. An ever-changing programme of events and exhibitions, a delicious café and a well-stocked gift shop makes this ‘hidden gem’ a jewel in Liverpool’s cultural crown.
Galleries & Museum: 10am – 5pm Tuesday – Saturday.
