Museum of Liverpool

This is a museum lover's paradise. We had an amazing day out and the exhibits were very informative and interesting. Definitely recommended if you are someone who loves spending your time in museum visits

I truly enjoyed my visit of the museum. The presentation was very well done. I would recommend it to anyone.

The added bonus is the top floor at the viewing gallery. You can get a stunning birds-eye view of the city.

Free to enter with the optional £5 donation.

Wonderful place to visit. Totally free & educational. Accessible toilets & lifts. Cafe on site. Parking terrible. We parked at Albert Dock & walked over. Lots to see & do nearby also!

Good museum especially since it's free. The history of Liverpool is cool and it really shows you stuff you wouldn't have learned otherwise. Three floors. Although the 2nd floor is somewhat repetitive of the first. The electronics stuff doesn't work which was disappointing for my son.

The museums in Liverpool are free and all are well worth a visit, there is a lot of Liverpools history, very modern feel to it and there is always something new to see, there is a souvenir shop and a nice cafe there too, staff are always helpful, lifts and excellent toilet facilities, highly recommend

A modern museum building with a lot of exhibits. The museum explores the history and culture of Liverpool and its people, including the city's contribution to music, sport, and politics. The museum also features interactive displays, oral histories, and multimedia installations that bring the city's history to life.
