Entitled Harbour Cities-Global Stages, the exhibition has been created to celebrate Liverpool City Region’s role as the official partner of Hamburg’s annual port festival – Hafengebustag. Encompassing 48 panels, across six pillars, the free exhibition will go on public display in Hamburg’s City Hall – the Rathaus Rathausdiele – from May 7-25 and is expected to be seen by more than 10,000 people.
