World Museum
A free general museum with Ancient Egyptian artifacts, dinosaur fossils, an aquarium, an insect house and a planetarium. It suits families.
The World Museum is one of Liverpool's oldest museums. It is located in the William Brown Street cultural quarter and is free to enter. Its collection focuses on Ancient Egyptian artifacts, which are among the most important in Britain outside the British Museum, along with natural history, dinosaur skeletons and ethnography. It also has a small aquarium, a live insect house and a planetarium (planetarium shows may charge a fee). Its five floors of exhibits make it ideal for a family half-day. Next door are the Central Library and the Walker Art Gallery, so you can see all three in one visit.
