Museum remembers Hillsborough

The National Football Museum will join with others today in remembering the 96 who died at Hillsborough 20 years ago.  At 3.06pm (the time the match was abandoned), the Museum will ask visitors and staff to join with the thousands expected at Liverpool’s Anfield ground to take part in a two minute silence as a tribute to those who lost their lives.  Sheffield Wednesday will also observe the two minute silence and Nottingham Forest, who were playing Liverpool at the time, will fly their club flag at half mast throughout the day.  

The Museum displays information about the Hillsborough disaster, which was developed in consultation with the families involved when the Museum first opened. Extracts are also included in the Only a Game? exhibition on European football at Liverpool’s World Museum that continues until 26 April, which the National Football Museum developed in partnership with UEFA.
