Museum of Liverpool

I attended the much anticipated opening of the £72million Museum of Liverpool. I couldn't help feeling a bit confused about 3XN's concept of the shape of the building being reminiscent of trading ships, and the  two huge gable windows pointing towards the city and the harbour (neither seem to face the city)?

One thing which definitely works is the spiral staircase, central to the museum. I'll reserve judgement on the rest of the building until I get a proper look when it's less busy!
