On the occasion of Liverpool being the
European Capital of Culture for 2008, we paid a visit to the city two weeks ago. This time the day trip was carefully planned with visits to St. George's Hall, Walker Art Gallery and the Roman Catholic (pictured left) and Anglican Cathedrals. Incidentally both cathedrals are very interesting architecturally, with their, respectively, Gothic revival and modern designs. Most interesting, however, was Tate Liverpool which hosted a well curated exhibition on 20th Century art: '
The Twentieth Century: how it looked & how it felt'. As with the trip to Manchester we did not miss to explore the city's contribution to modern pop music.
Liverpool is the birthplace of The Beatles after all! For that reason we went to the National Conservation Centre to see The Beatles photographic exhibition '
Now These Days Are Gone'. We went also past the famous Matthew Street, down 'The Cavern' club (immortalized by, again, The Beatles who played there numerous times) and The Cavern 'Wall of Fame' (pictured right).
