World Museum Liverpool

Set in the heart of the city’s cultural quarter, the museum takes visitors on a journey across time and continents, with extraordinary collections that span natural history, ancient civilisations, astronomy, technology, and more.

Inside, guests can explore an awe-inspiring Ancient Egypt gallery, home to one of the UK’s largest collections of Egyptian artefacts, including mummies and beautifully preserved tomb treasures. The museum also features a hands-on Natural History centre, where children and adults can get up close to real specimens ranging from fossils to exotic insects.

A standout attraction is the Planetarium. The first in the UK outside London where visitors can experience immersive shows about stars, space travel, and our solar system. There’s also a fascinating World Cultures gallery, showcasing objects from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania, as well as interactive science exhibits and live demonstrations that make learning fun and engaging.

The museum offers a welcoming café and gift shop, as well as facilities for families including baby-changing areas and accessible toilets. Entry is free, though small charges may apply for special exhibitions and planetarium shows.
