Prescot Museum is now brighter than ever thanks to a refreshed redisplay completed recently.
The museum reflects the historical significance of Knowsley and the cultural identity of its communities.
The colourful displays of images and artefacts tell the story of Knowsley and its people – how they lived and where they worked.
Prescot Museum is home to over 14,500 objects including tools, costumes, coins, badges and trophies.
Plus, it’s completely free to come along and see the vast array of history and heritage on display.
Prescot Museum is located in Prescot Shopping Centre on Eccleston Street in the town centre.
Despite there being some demolition works at the Shopping Centre, Prescot Museum is not affected and remains open for business and usual.
Prescot Museum is open Monday to Friday 10am – 5pm (last admission 4.30pm), Saturday 10am – 1pm (last admission 12.30pm).
Cllr Shelley Powell, Cabinet Member for Communities and Neighbourhoods, said “Prescot Museum has a wealth of information to showcase Knowsley’s people, the place and its businesses.
“There’s something for everyone – young and old – and it’s completely free to come along and see for yourself the town’s rich history and heritage.
“The museum remains open as usual, despite there being some demolition works being completed at Prescot Shopping Centre.
“It’s open six days a week so pop along and see the great exhibitions on display and learn a few things about Knowsley’s rich historic past.”
