LIVERPOOL
WORLD MUSEUM
Strike off on a journey across the
globe and through the ages at
the World Museum Liverpool. As
entertaining as it is educational, the
museum is home to a fascinating
array of artefacts from the natural
world. Come up close to live
colonies of insects or explore
enchanting Ancient World galleries
at this enthralling attraction that
is free to enter. From zoology to
antiquities, Tibetan textiles to Maori
jewellery, the museum houses
the weird, the wonderful and the
unforgettable. Whether visiting
by yourself or as part of a group,
you’ll be surprised at the sheer
volume of artefacts housed here
– over 1.7 million internationally
significant specimens artfully
arranged under one roof. At the
World Cultures gallery you’ll get
the chance to pore over items
from Africa, the Americas, Asia
and Oceania, becoming familiar
with their inhabitants’ customs and
religions along the way. Inspect a
samurai suit of armour, examine
the rough-hewn cast of a dinosaur
or eye a hoard of Anglo-Saxon
treasure. You can spend hours
in this educational haven. One of
the most popular attractions is the
planetarium. Having undergone a
major revamp in 2012, this unique
centre lets you inspect the surface
of the moon or the volcanoes of
Mars. Whether you’re interested
in geology, botany or physical
sciences, you’ll find something you
love at the World Museum.
