"National Museums Liverpool and the
University of Liverpool have been collaborating on a vast range of topics for many years, including, joint research, teaching provision for students, placements and projects, access to our diverse collections, loans and joint public events.
"We are delighted to announce that we have now taken our relationship a step further and forged a formal commitment that articulates our shared ambitions in the city, nationally and internationally.
