Online Sport Exhibtion - Liverpool Museum

Online exhibition

This online exhibition is the only place you can see this unusual collection of sports-related items, ranging from pictures of the Titanic and Olympic Gymnasium, to a section on the Hillsborough disaster. All of the objects represent different areas of the varied collections at National Museums Liverpool's eight venues. Some of the items shown are either delicate or light-sensitive, so they are not usually on public display.

When you have linked to the website, click on the thumbnails below to see a larger picture and find out more about each object.
