Museum of Liverpool on the road
From 2 March 2007 (final date to be confirmed)
While the new Museum of Liverpool is being built, we are touring some of its fantastic collections ‘on the road’. You can now see some extraordinary and iconic items on display at unexpected venues across the city. See further details on the Museum of Liverpool on the road homepage.
The Legacy sculpture can be seen overlooking the River Mersey, outside the Piermaster's House in the Albert Dock.

This statue of a young family commemorates migration from Liverpool to the new world.
It was given to the people of Liverpool by the Mormon Church as a tribute to the many families from all over Europe who embarked on a brave and pioneering voyage from Liverpool to start a new life in America.
It is estimated that in total approximately nine million people emigrated through the port.
The sculpture by Mark DeGraffenried is cast in bronze. The child stepping forward at the front symbolises migration to the unknown world whilst the child playing with a crab at the back indicates a deep association with the sea.
