Liverpool FC Museum

I’ve visited the LFC Museum too many times to remember. I’ve also done the stadium tour a number of times because, deep down, I am a 44 year old man who still loves the game as much as a 10 year old boy. So, with this in mind, my review may be a little biased towards the club.

The museum has evolved over the past 15 years or so that I have been making visits. It’s still located in the same part of the ground but there has been a bit more space made and better lighting and decor installed. The photos I have shared are from my most recent visit in December 2019 just before COVID hit.

You have a few ways to enter the museum. You can pay for a one off visit, enter after a stadium tour or take in a quick look if you are there for a match with a hospitality sticker in the immediate vicinity.

Once inside, you will head down memory lane with some beautiful memorabilia donated by players, supporters, former managers, media people and the club itself. Having grown up in an era when the FA Cup still meant something, there are a good number of items from these times on show. There is also a great deal of items remembering the early European adventures under Shanks and Bob.

But, it’s not just the expected stuff you will find on show. There is the a special cup called “The Floodlights Challenge Cup” which, from memory, was played for over a few years beginning in the late 50s between Liverpool and Everton. Wonderful stuff!

On one museum/stadium tour visit I took in 2008, Museum curator, Stephen Dome took us and it was like doing the rounds with the worlds best LFC Historian. He came into the museum with us after the tour and explained, in great detail, things that not many people would know about the club and players.

Something that baffles me when I visit the LFC museum is why people rush through without really stopping to take the time to read the notes and explore the museum properly. The club is what it is because of the history so always make sure you allow plenty of time for your visit.

There are many fantastic club museums around Europe and the UK but for me, the LFC museum is one of the more niche collections in a boutique setting. It feels much more a personal experience and, if your lucky, you may just get a special tour with Stephen Dome.
