More images of a new Merseyside museum have been revealed after investment in the site was approved this week.
The Eureka! Mersey museum will be based on the site of the Spaceport at Seacombe Ferry Terminal.
The ECHO reported earlier this week that the Spaceport is set to close after visitor numbers have plummeted from 96,000 a year a decade ago to 36,000 a year now.
The site has had an average operating loss of £250,000 a year since 2005 and will be transformed by the team behind Yorkshire's Eureka! National Children's Museum.
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority approved a £6.6m investment towards the museum on Friday, with the project costing £11.75m in total.
Metro mayor Steve Rotheram said the new museum's focus on science, technology and engineering would offer something new for the city and help inspire and educate young people.
He said: “Our fantastic museums are an integral part of our world-class visitor offer.
“Eureka! would add something new and exciting to what we already have and become a major attraction for people within our city region and from further afield.”
Eureka's chief executive, Leigh-Anne Stradeski, said she was excited about opening their second museum.
She said: “We have engaged extensively with stakeholders across Liverpool City Region in our planning thus far, including children and young people, businesses, academia, education, community and the cultural sector, and the level of engagement, enthusiasm and support has been absolutely incredible.
“We are hopeful of a positive decision on planning within the next few months.”
Yorkshire's Eureka! opened in 1992 and now attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors a year.
