About

Our aim is to amaze and amuse all our visitors with an incredible collection of curiosities from the 127 year history of the University of Liverpool. We believe the exhibits you’ll find at the Victoria Gallery & Museum give you an experience that’s unique from other Liverpool museums. Where else would you find the world’s most important display of false teeth under the same roof as an exhibition of fine art? We’re also very proud that these weird and wonderful items are housed in our most prized exhibit - the Victoria Building! Opened as the Victoria Gallery and Museum in May 2008 by HRH The Princess Royal, our Grade II listed building, designed by Alfred Waterhouse has been a central part of University life for over a century. As a celebration of Liverpool’s year as European Capital of Culture, the building has been carefully renovated and transformed into a public venue for all to enjoy. The ground floor is home to the Waterhouse Café and the upper floors house our art galleries, museum and lecture theatre. We hold regular events for families, schools and adults and we strive to be accessible to all visitors. We aim to provide an excellent service to all visitors and welcome your feedback in order that we may continually improve.

Quiet escape with some interesting items

This gallery and museum seemed to be set within a lot of university buildings and while it felt busy and bustling outside, inside it had a really calm and peaceful atmosphere. I really enjoyed looking around all the different exhibits and the museum.
