On the side of buildings, pubs and some of the city's busiest streets, you'll find vibrant murals - each with their own story to tell.
As a creative hub, it's hardly surprising that areas like the Baltic and Bold Street, have become popular places for artists to paint their murals.
But street art has also become an important part of the regeneration of areas like New Brighton, with artwork as far as the eye can see in the seaside town.
Back in November 2019, we took a look at some of the fantastic murals that have popped up across Merseyside in recent years and the fascinating stories behind them.
Since then, a number of new additions have joined the street art scene, including a laughing Jürgen Klopp, painted on the side of a building on Jamaica Street.
While in New Ferry, artist Paul Curtis is painting five new artworks in a bid to give the town a new lease of life.
Here are some of the stunning murals in Merseyside today.
Jurgen Klopp on Jamaica Street
The mural of Jurgen Klopp on Jamaica Street was painted to celebrate Liverpool clinching the Premier League title after 30 years.
It was created over two days in June, by Liverpool artist Caleb.
The final result shows Klopp’s beaming smile next to the words “We are Liverpool 2020!” and a Liver bird clutching the Premier League trophy.
Speaking to the ECHO about why he decided to paint the mural, Caleb said: “Liverpool have just made history and there’s a great atmosphere in the city at the moment.
“It just needed to be done. Someone had to do it so I decided it was going to be me.”
The artwork, situated next to the now-famous Liver Bird Wings by Paul Curtis, is the latest piece to celebrate Klopp and Liverpool FC’s incredible achievements as World, European and now Premier League champions.
The Liverpool boss has previously been immortalised on nearby Jordan Street by Manchester artist Akse.
LFC mural on Bold Street
In June, another LFC mural was also painted on the side of a building off Bold Street to mark the Premier League title win.
The vibrant artwork in Ropewalks Square, shows players including Firmino and Mane with their arms round one another, as they celebrate the victory.
Dancing with Colours project in New Ferry
Paul Curtis, who painted the popular Liver Birds mural in Liverpool's Baltic Triangle has embarked on a project to transform the look of a town devastated by an explosion in 2017.
Work is currently taking place on the 'Dancing With Colours' murals, which will be painted across six shop fronts on New Chester Road in New Ferry, Wirral.
New Ferry was rocked by Pascal Blasio’s deliberate blowing up of his Homes in Style furniture store on Bebington Road in March 2017.
Residents in the area have secured a successful bid of £5,000 to go towards the new murals, from a £200,000 ‘hardship fund’ provided by Wirral Council for those households affected by the blast.
Local traders are also putting £2,500 towards the ‘Dancing With Colours’ mural project, which is now underway in the area.
Completed at the end of June, a mural of a heart-shaped white cloud now graces the shopfront of mental health charity Gallier House.
The other murals include a beach scene across Sun Junk-e and Simple Credit, a Highland cattle artwork at Edge and Sons Butchers, a 1960s hair dressing scene at Charisma Hair Design and piglets at Boysenberry delicatessen.
Trent Alexander-Arnold in Anfield
The three-storey tall image of Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is emblazoned on a terrace property at the corner of Sybil Street and Anfield Road.
Painted by graffiti artist Akse and arranged by The Anfield Wrap, the mural was commissioned to commemorate The Reds' Champions League winning season - and to inspire other youngsters.
The mural includes a message which reads 'I'm just a normal lad from Liverpool whose dream has just come true.'
Trent, who went to visit the mural for its unveiling in August, had an important message to young people in the city about the mural and what he hopes it will mean to others.
Speaking to the ECHO at the unveiling, he said: "The main message that kids should be picking up from me and my story is that anything is possible and anything can happen - because I was once that kid in a Gerrard or Carragher shirt.
"They were the players who were the local ones in the team and they were the ones who made me feel as though anything can happen.
"It wasn't the players coming in, but the lads who said they were just normal lads in Liverpool and it's just a cycle of being a normal lad and being able to see people living their dream and living your dream.
"Hopefully that's the message the young people are picking up from what's happening."
The mural will be also used to highlight an important community cause - Fans Supporting Foodbanks - and to try and make people more aware of the work they do in the area.
Fans Supporting Foodbanks is an initiative set up by a group of supporters who follow both Liverpool and Everton, which hands out food donations across the city to those in need.
Liver Bird Wings in the Baltic Triangle
There can't be many people who can say that they haven't taken a picture standing in front of the Liver Bird wings in the Baltic Triangle.
It's undoubtedly one of the most popular paintings in the city - and the stunning mural was created by local artist Paul Curtis in August 2017.
Originally a geologist by trade, Paul became an artist after he was made redundant back in 2016.
Since then, Paul has designed work which has appeared across the city on shop shutters, brick walls, advertising hoardings, inside bars - and even in a movie.
But Paul's Liver Bird wings remain popular to his day, as people stop to pose for selfies and transform themselves into an iconic Liver Bird.
Speaking to the ECHO about the wings he said: “When I started designing it, I thought how could I make it unique and settled on the colour and wings of the Liver Bird.
“I wanted to do something people could interact with and make it a bit of fun.”
Abbey Road in the Baltic Triangle
Another one of Paul Curtis's artworks which has proved popular with passersby is this one of Abbey Road.
Known by some as 'Liverpool's Banksy', Paul was commissioned by The Beatles Story to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Abbey Road album.
The artwork can be found on Grafton Street, on the wall of the popular Cain’s Brewery Village.
Inspired by the album’s artwork, the mural depicts the scene of the famous London-based zebra crossing used by the band.
Many people have been spotted posing for a picture next to the artwork since its opening in Febuary.
Speaking about the project, Paul Curtis said: “In some ways it is unusual in that without The Beatles, it is simply a suburban street scene, but it is so iconic that people recognise it from just some tarmac, trees and a couple of cars.
“I hope that people enjoy the new work and becoming The Beatles themselves.
“I look forward to seeing all the photos of people just having fun with the backdrop.
“In that sense, it is similar to ‘For all Liverpool's Liverbirds’, the main point is that people enjoy it and that it brightens their day!”
Bill Shankly in Anfield
A stunning mural of Liverpool FC icon Bill Shankly was painted on the side of the famous Park Pub in September.
Self-taught street artist John Culshaw spray painted the image of the legendary former manager, depicting him holding a red Liverpool scarf on side of the pub, which is just a few steps away from the ground.
Artist John lost his arm as a nine-year-old when he was hit by a speeding car. He was catapulted through the windscreen of the car and suffered appalling injuries.
But he has not let that stop him building up an impressive portfolio of stunning murals in the city.
After John's accident, the Page Moss artist became a painter and decorator, and then a street artist.
Steven Hawking
A mural of Stephen Hawking came to the city in April 2018, painted onto the side of a building on Upper Parliament Street.
The tribute to the world-famous scientist, who died in March last year, was created by French scientist and artist Akse as part of the Contrast Mural Festival taking place in Liverpool at the time.
Alongside the portrait is the quote: "However difficult life may seem there is always something you can do and succeed at."
Artist Akse, said: “I was provided with a wall which belongs to the Liverpool Life Sciences school and I thought that a tribute to Stephen Hawking would be appropriate because it’s a science school.
“I am a scientist myself. I studied an MSc in Chemistry in Manchester so it was also a personal choice.”
Akse, who is from the suburbs to the south of Paris, prefers not to use his real name.
Peter Pan in New Brighton
The regeneration of New Brighton has seen a whole host of different artwork coming to the town - including this beautiful Peter Pan inspired mural.
Wirral-based developers Rockpoint have undertaken a wide-scale regeneration plan in the area, including commissioning artists to paint a series of vibrant murals.
Led by local businessman Danny Davies, the entire project is aimed at developing New Brighton's independent businesses by buying empty and derelict buildings and working on a variety of retail and hospitality 'concepts' to benefit local people, as well as generating footfall from visitors from further afield.
As part of the plans, a series of artworks have also been commissioned from both local and national artists to bring a new life to walls around the neighbourhood.
Speaking about the works, Mr Davies, CEO and founder of Rockpoint, said: “Street art is a fundamental part of our strategy in developing the Quarter.
"These original designs add another dynamic to this buzzy little area - they help reinforce it as a creative hub within the town.
"A number of pieces such as The New Brighton Peter Pan are already becoming a tourist attraction in their own right, and are constantly being photographed for social media channels.”
Alex Marra, director and curator of Art from Alexander, added: "Dan approached me and we started providing street art to the community. What he's doing for the local area is fantastic and inspiring.
"This area has had a lot of neglect down the years, so doing things like this - helping put a positive spin on the area - is very important.
"When we come down here, people always tell us how much the art has brightened up the community, and even inspired people."
Jurgen Klopp in Anfield
Another fantastic mural painted recently by John Culshaw is the giant artwork of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
After spending days painting the design, John unveiled the mural on the wall of Klopp's Boot Room in Anfield back in September.
The artist said: "Yes its a pleasure to work on Klopp because I am a huge Liverpool FC fan.
"I would say he is our best manager since Shankly - he is to us what Ferguson was to United in the 80s and 90s. He is the best thing at Anfield and bigger than any player.
"I obviously want him to stay at the club for as long as possible and this mural is a personal tribute to him from me."
The Beatles in New Brighton
Another Beatles mural was unveiled in September in New Brighton as part of the seaside resort's continued renaissance.
The mural, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Tower Ballroom and the original Beatles poster artist Tony Booth, was unveiled as part of a wide-ranging regeneration programme.
The former music venue, where The Beatles performed on 27 occasions, was iconic until it closed due to fire damage in 1969.
The mural also honours the 100th anniversary of the dismantling of the New Brighton Tower, which was Britain’s tallest building when it was completed in 1898.
By honouring the town’s association with The Beatles and its lively cultural scene in the 1960s, the organisers of the mural on Hope Street, hope to remind the people of New Brighton of their proud past and show them that the area has a bright future.
Alex Marra, the mural project’s Art Director, said: “The mural is a tribute to Tony Booth.
“As a team, we wanted to look at the visuals behind The Beatles and I found out that Tony Booth did all the artwork behind the promotion of the 27 performances (at The Tower Ballroom).
"I got in touch with his family. They’d never given the image rights to anyone, but because they understood the significance of our project they signed the image rights to us for this mural."
The Fab Four in the Baltic Triangle
Another brilliant Beatles mural which was unveiled this summer is also located in the Baltic Triangle.
Based on Watkinson Street, the mural was created by Liverpool-based street artist John Culshaw.
And while the painting is unmistakably of the Fab Four together, the representations of John, Paul, George and Ringo did provoke some comment on social media.
They have been likened to Cast, the Bunnymen - even the Nolans, while McCartney has been said to resemble Pete Wylie, Liza Minnelli, or Cilla Black.
