About this audio guide
This guide to the Victoria Gallery and Museum in Liverpool begins under the clock tower in November eighteen ninety-two, with a jam maker, a set of bells, and a building that had already blown its budget. It then jumps to the nineteen forties and a controversial book about British universities, signed by an author nobody could find. Best heard in the courtyard with the tower in view.
