The popular permanent display Wondrous Place returns to the Museum of Liverpool after it closed for three years to make way for Double Fantasy, John & Yoko and Liverpool on Wheels. The exhibition maps Liverpool’s best known sports stars, comedians, performers, writers, musicians and visual artists through around 650 objects accompained by interactive and immersive elements. It returns with old favourites from the original space alongside new and exciting displays: fans of the hit series Killing Eve will be delighted to learn that Wondrous Place includes one of Villanelle’s costumes worn by Liverpool actress Jodie Comer. Other objects include a fresh addition to the story of Liverpool music including Spice Girl, Mel C’s stage costume as well as the iconic Beatles suits and Merseybeat memorabilia.
