The planned new museum of Liverpool has a simple vision – to be a “wondrous place”. From my own perspective essentially as a museum visitor this is what I consider all museums should be. The expectation of a museum visit is to experience a sense of awe from seeing rare and significant objects, whilst learning and understanding about matters which previously you did not understand or were unaware.
In the current media and internet dominated world we expect a further dimension, not just to see, but also to experience events or be provided with a viewpoint not otherwise available.
