The Museum of Liverpool received a visit from the Prime Minister, the Rt. Honourable Gordon Brown MP on 8th January during his three day tour of the UK. The Prime Minister was in Liverpool for the first ever cabinet meeting to be held in the city and took time out to look around the site of the new museum currently taking shape on Liverpool's Pier Head, the largest newly built national museum in Britain for almost a century. Following a boat ride around the marina to witness the regeneration of the area, the Prime Minister, escorted by the Chairman of National Museums Liverpool (NML), Phil Redmond, alighted at the museum to meet staff and members of the construction team.
Mace has been appointed by client NML as the £41m base build client advisor, project management support and design manager on the museum project. Work commenced on site in April 2007 and the museum will open its doors to visitors in 2010.
January also saw the museum provide the backdrop for projections as a key part of the transition events at the Pier Head as Liverpool officially handed over the Capital of Culture mantle to Linz, Austria.
