Museum of Liverpool: Liverpool Doors, Roger McGough

Appeals for objects and memories


Lots of people have shared their memories and objects to help create the museum's displays. Here are some of the ways that they have been involved.
Liverpool Doors Project



24 February – TBC

Poetry Society President Roger McGough brings to the new Museum of Liverpool a unique art installation combining his poetic skills and love of his home city.

The Liverpool Doors exhibition will feature doors from across the city, donated to Roger and book artist Mark Cockram, who have created the installation along with students from Liverpool John Moores University’s (LJMU) School of Art and Design.

Opening on 25 February, this will be the first new exhibition to be staged at the Museum of Liverpool since it was fully opened to the public by The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh in December 2011.

Roger: I rather hope it might appeal to people, particularly in Liverpool. A lot of jokes and funny things to remember hopefully. I hope they come in inquisitive and go away with a smile on their face.
