National Museums Liverpool podcast

I love it when museums take on board that you want to know more about their collections other rather wandering around the exhibition and squinting at little cards beside exhibits. Stop that - give your visitor more - give them a nice little audio guide so as they wander the aisles looking at dusty collectors peices they can have a richer experience. A get more out of a visit or even be fully armed with knowledge by the time they arrive.

This is great stuff- they have guides to all sorts - from artwork of the month to guides to their Maritime Museum exhibitions.

National Museums Liverpool holds regular free talks and lectures at their venues.

Since April 2006, they have been recording many of these talks and making them available for download through the website. Dr Paul O'Keeffe is a great laugh and well worth a listen.

 Kafka - Comes to the Playhouse
Not the promotional picture for Metamorphosis.  But if you have never seen or read Metamorphosis then the Playhouse has a real treat in store early next month especially if you like your stories to have a people turning into beetles. (Not those beatles.) This is a truly fantastic story and has had rave reviews after showing in London's Westend. Blurb:  - This hugely acclaimed and imaginative production combines jaw-dropping aerial action, a gravity-defying split level set and a mesmerising score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. There is no way that this version is ever going to be better that the musical version I have been working on for a number of years but I still can't wait and for £8 it's a bargain.
