It's now been 20 years since FACT first opened its doors in Liverpool city-centre.
Located on Wood Street, FACT (Liverpool Foundation for the Arts and Creative Technologies) officially opened in 2003, at the time becoming Liverpool’s first newly-built arts building in over 60 years, since the Philharmonic Hall opened in 1939. Costing around £10m, the site took around two years to build on a former tea warehouse.
Boasting art galleries, a media and events space, a lab for learning and experimentation and a Picturehouse cinema and bar - the site, designed by architect Austin-Smith:Lord, has been at the centre of many special moments for locals and tourists alike through the years. It's also seen a host of famous faces pass through its doors, from Liverpool legends to Hollywood stars and millions of visitors from Merseyside and beyond.
