“Our permanent collection, includes ship models from the area, focusing on Cammell Laird shipbuilders and their contribution to marine history, the Mersey Ferries and the variety of vessels that used the River Mersey when it was at its busiest.”

MARITIME HISTORY

“The art collection is the largest feature of the gallery, numbering some 6000 oil paintings, water colours, drawings and prints; the collection’s strengths lie in British works, especially by artists with Wirral, Merseyside and North Wales connections.”

ART COLLECTION

“In addition there are important collections of local ceramics, especially Birkenhead's own Della Robbia Pottery (1894-1906). The Knowles Boney collection of 18th century Liverpool Porcelain and Seacombe Pottery.”

CERAMICS

“A beautiful building with bright and varied galleries, I love the ceramics collection and the fun activities for children. Friendly staff and lovely cafe with well priced and tasty tea and cake.”
