Liverpool is home to some of the finest museums in the UK, and none better than the architecturally stunning Museum of Liverpool. The world’s first national museum dedicated to the history of a regional city, the attraction is bursting with interesting artefacts and largescale interactive exhibits. Indeed, it houses over 6,000 objects that bring the city’s colourful history to life. Located at Pier Head, on the waterfront, the museum is completely free to enter and explore. Step onto the overhead railway and inspect the stage where John Lennon and Paul McCartney first crossed paths, or dive into Liverpool’s storied sporting heritage. There are also exhibits showcasing popular culture through the ages, as well as social, historical and contemporary subjects. You certainly won’t want to miss the immersive 360º films about the city’s crosstown football rivals, Liverpool and Everton. Another display pays tribute to the famous musicians to come out of the city, none bigger or more revered than The Beatles. Elsewhere, behold Ben Johnson’s Liverpool Cityscape, created when the city won European Capital of Culture in 2008. The painting, which took three years to complete, is housed in the Skylight gallery. After your eye-opening visit, why not call by the ground-floor cafe for a warm pastry and a freshlybrewed coffee?

It's great. There are hands on activities for young children and plenty for older children to see. The staff are friendly and the site is clean and safe. The location is superb and you get great views of the Pier Head and the Mersey.
