Liverpool is a great place for having great ideas...
Great ideas can occur in many places -on a walk, in the shower, or even in bed -and many of them come from Liverpool.
This exhibition explores the origins of some of the city’s most remarkable discoveries, innovations, and insights, and invites visitors to reflect on what makes ideas possible in the first place.
Drawing from the vast collections of the University of Liverpool, joined by records from the National Archives, Lightbulb moments looks at four key themes.
The exhibition explains how innovation happens when people see a problem, build on past knowledge, use their creativity, and stay curious.
Each object displayed embodies a ‘lightbulb moment’, a turning point in the journey of discovery.
What great idea will you have today?
