The inner quay will be brought to life through a series of dynamic and visually stunning displays

Royal Albert Dock Liverpool is set to be transformed with three permanent state-of-the-art projectors, mapping a series of short animations onto the back facade of the Maritime Museum while it undergoes its transformation. 

Named ‘Dock Shorts’, the animation series brings the inner quay to life through a series of dynamic, visually stunning displays that blend storytelling and creativity with cutting-edge technology. 

The Dock Shorts series will feature 14 bespoke shows per year over the next two years, with each show aligning with key calendar moments including Christmas, Lunar New Year, Valentine’s and Halloween.

Each projection will be individually themed using high-quality mapping techniques to ensure a rich and immersive experience. The programme is designed to evolve throughout the year, celebrating Liverpool’s creative spirit whilst honouring the dock’s industrial heritage, designed to captivate new and returning audiences.

Jacob Loftus, CEO of General Projects, comments, “This series marks an exciting new chapter for the dock, blending innovative projection technology with the rich heritage of the site. By showcasing a variety of seasonal and cultural themes, we aim to enhance the visitor experience, attract diverse audiences, and further cement the dock’s role as a vibrant cultural landmark in Liverpool.”
