Exhibitions

We stage regular exhibitions in the Archive Exhibition Space in Kirkby Library – but don’t worry if you can’t make it in: we’ve got you covered!

Click on the link below to view our latest exhibition, ‘Playtime isn’t Over: Toys and Games Throughout The Decades’, which features historical artefacts from Knowsley Archives that are typically shown as part of School talks and visits. Highlighted are popular toys and games, spanning from the beginning of the 20th Century in 1900 to the end in 2000.

Playtime Exhibition

Our previous exhibition, ‘Experiments in Propaganda: History & Tragedy of the Royal Ordnance Factory in Kirkby’, which told the story of the munitions factory and the people who risked their lives to work there. The exhibition ran from the 14th of April 2025 to the 26th of May 2025, although due to popular demand it was extended until the 6th of June 2025.
