About us

Our mission is to enable people to explore our collections for inspiration, learning, the creation of knowledge and enjoyment in line with the University’s founding mission ‘for advancement of learning and ennoblement of life’.  We are an institution that collects, safeguards and makes accessible objects that we hold in trust for society.  We believe that the exhibits you’ll find at the Victoria Gallery & Museum give you an experience that is 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 and contemporary art?  We are also very proud that these incredible items are housed in our most prized exhibit, the Victoria building.

What we do

It’s our job to preserve and present all the unique objects from the last 130 years of the University’s history. We also curate imaginative and accessible exhibitions and displays to make sure there’s always something new to see at the Victoria Gallery & Museum.

We’re organisers of Liverpool events, too. You can hold anything from award ceremonies, business dinners or conferences in these magnificent surroundings. You can even tie the knot here.

Look at our venue hire page for more information on using our building for weddings or events in Liverpool.

We are situated within the Knowledge Quarter and are a part of the Hope Street CIC (Hope Street Community Interest Company), working with other local businesses in the area. Visit the Hope Street CIC website to find out more about our partnership and other local attractions.
