The World Museum, part of Liverpool's museum complex, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, United Kingdom, Europe

Ethel Davis/Robert Harding

World Museum

Top choice in Liverpool


Natural history, science and technology are the themes of the oldest museum in town, which opened in 1853. Its exhibits range from live bugs to human anthropology. This vastly entertaining and educational museum is spread across five themed floors, from the aquarium on the 1st floor to the planetarium on the 5th, where you'll also find exhibits dedicated to space (moon rocks, telescopes etc) and time (clocks and timepieces from the 1500s to 1960). Highly recommended.
