The Victoria Gallery & Museum (VG&M) reopens on Tuesday, 18 May exclusively to University of Liverpool staff and students for the first time since March 2020.
The building closed at the beginning of the first lockdown in March 2020. The University will welcome staff and students to enjoy exclusive access before the building reopens to the public again next month.
About your visit
The Victoria Gallery & Museum are pleased to announce that during lockdown, they have installed a range of new exhibitions in their art galleries, including ‘Nature v Humans’, ‘The Art of Ruin’, and ‘A New Beauty – Romanticism in Art 1880 – 1920’. Take a look at the current exhibitions online.
Before you visit, you must book a free timed entry slot in advance to maintain social distancing, safely manage the numbers through our doors and ensure that everyone has an enjoyable time.
Each ticket allows up to 6 people in a household or support bubble to look around the galleries on the first floor for one hour.
