4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012 NEW

excellent modern building and good location. Very informative and nicely laid out, good access, toilet facilities and a nice cafe with reasonable prices and staff with a good "scouse" humour, well worth a place to while away the hours you will loose track of time so much to see and do.nice view of the waterfront from the first and second...

“More than spouse here.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012 NEW

We visited the Musuem of Liverpool this weekend and were not disappointed. It is situated on the banks of the iconic Rivee Mersey and adjacent to the evocative WW2 naval memorials. There is no entry fee. The clear layout is pleasing on the eye and is segmented into various themes, from early history to the present day. There is plenty... More

“A Superb Showcase for Liverpool's History. Go There!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2012

We enjoyed a wonderful couple of hours here, as a bitterly cold wind put paid to our intended boat tour of the docks, and could have stayed much longer. This is a most imaginatively designed museum; it looks as if no expense has been spared to deliver a memorable experience to visitors. Housed in a striking building, dramatically situated at... More

Went here a week ago and haven't stopped raving about it since. If you're a scouser you have to visit this, if not, I still think it would be interesting and worthwhile. I am not one for museums at all but I loved everything about this and need to go back several times as I didn't complete it. On the... More
