Liverpool Museum may close temporarily at short notice as a result of building work. You are advised to telephone 0151 478 4399, international telephone +44 151 478 4399, before you visit.
If I'm honest, museums normally bore me, but Liverpool museum is the best I've ever visited in the world, it's themed sections are fantastic and you most definitely won't be disappointed. Leave a Comment

 Entrance to the Liverpool
World Museum by JoelWillTravel, 4 more photos
The museum has free entry and is open every day from 10am to 5pm.
Floor 1 is the Aquarium with displays of live fish and other animals. And also the treasure house theatre.
Floor 2 is the Clore Natural History Centre where you can find out about the world of plants, animals, rocks and minerals in this hands on area. Also on floor 2 is the bug house, with some huge insects both living and non living. Floor two also has a special exhibitions area where guest artist are on hand to display their art and hold workshops. While I was there I had the pleasure of meeting a great artist named Tony Phillips who's produced some fantastic pieces of art in his makeshift workshop there.
Floor 3 Is the Weston Discovery Centre where you can find out about people across the world, past and present. Also on floor 3 is the Anciet World area where you can disover the worlds of ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Anglo Saxons from things they have made.
Floor 4 is Dinosaur skeletons, fossils and footprints. Also on floor 4 is the Natural World area where you can learn about the Plains of Africa to the great rainforests of South America.
Floor 5 is all about space and time, lear about atoms and the see the star exhibits. There is also info on 500 years of clocks, watches and scientific instruments. Floor 5 is also home to the famous Planetarium where you can see the magic of the night sky, free tickets for the Planetarium are available from the reception desk at the entrance to the museum.
My descriptions really don't do this place any justice, you really have to go and see for yourself how good the exhibits are.
There are toilets on every floor and a restaurant on floor 5. There is also a small cafe in the entrance area. Leave a Comment

 Maritime Museum by sabsi
Apart from these emigrant stories in the basement which were my favourite part of the exhibition you will find out more about Liverpool owned Titanic and other steamers of White Star Line here. There's a huge section on WWII and there's an exhibition on slavery as well.
Outside the museum there's some exhibits which you can see without going into the museum, e.g. the Lusitania's propeller.
The Lusitania was a luxury steamship owned by Liverpool based Cunard Steamship Company. It sank 11 miles off the Irish coast in 1915 when it was hit by a torpedo from German submarine U-20. The Lusitania was apparently listed as Armed Merchant Cruiser. It sank within 18 minutes, 1201 people died.
As most other museums in Liverpool the Maritime Museum is free. Leave a Comment Address: The Colonnades, Albert Dock

 Tate Gallery by sabsi
Unfortunately I didn't have the time to visit during both my visits. Only one of the reasons why I have to go back to Liverpool some day!
Like most of the museums in Liverpool Tate is free. Leave a Comment

Merseyside Maritime museum in the Albert Dock complex is well worth a few hours of you time. It offers a unique insight into the history of the great port of Liverpool - covers the wars, emigration, slavery and Titanic and Lusitania exhibitions to name a few.

Located in the rather Hogwart’esque Victoria building the Victoria Museum & Gallery is finally open and free! Designed in 1888 by the Liverpool born architect Alfred Waterhouse this impressive heap of gothic excess was the original home of Liverpool University College and the origin of the term ‘red brick’ university. The building had outgrown its use and after much head scratching was kindly 'gifted' back to the city whose philanthropy paid for it. It appears the university also emptied out their cupboards in search of suitable exhibits and have produced an eclectic mix of the weird and wonderful. Gaze in wonderment at many preserved creepy critters, Egyptian artefacts worthy of Indiana Jones and skeletons of everything from a Hedwig type owl to a famous racehorse. Gasp at the paintings of improbable looking birds by the famous American artist JJ Audubon and fall asleep at the display of old calculating machines that will have the Grandpa Simpsons amongst you droning on about “I remember in my day…….” For a bit of levity relax in the airy café and amuse yourself with the exhibits found during building renovation including embarrassing post cards sent and lost by students back in the days when even travelling to the shops was something of an adventure.
