LIVERPOOL.- More than 250,000 people have visited the Museum of Liverpool since it opened four weeks ago, equivalent to the capacities of Anfield or Goodison Park 5 to 6 times over and more than half the population of the city as a whole. Crowds have flocked to the new Museum with an average of 8,300 people a day through the doors. The Museum which is free entry opened on 19 July and tells the story of the city and its people. Museum bosses had predicted 78,000 visitors in the first month of opening, but the response from the public has been three times that. Janet Dugdale, Director of the Museum of Liverpool said: ”The visitor figures are staggering. We are thrilled with the success of the new Museum. To get a quarter of a million people through the doors in the first month is fantastic. There is a real buzz of excitement in the Museum and it’s so nice to see so many people enjoying themselves.
