The city embraced its role as host on behalf of Ukraine
Viewers who tuned into the Eurovision Grand final at the M&S Bank Arena earlier this month might recognise the butter churn from a hilarious moment in the show with presenter, Mel Giedroyc, which quickly went viral.
The Museum has also collected costumes including Liverpool star, and UK’s 1993 entrant, Sonia’s outfit from the 2023 final, scripts, props as well as items from the local community to tell its Eurovision story. Kay Jones, the lead curator of urban and community history, told the ECHO: “Anyone lucky enough to be in Liverpool during Eurovision will know what an amazing moment it was for the city, how sensitively Ukraine was represented throughout, and how warm the city’s welcome was.
During the Eurovision period, the village on the Pier Head – which was open for nine days – welcomed 250,000 visitors.
