Liverpool World Museum

A fantastic Museum to interest children on a rainy day in Liverpool, the World Museum has it all! From tanks full of fishes, to a planetarium and a vast collection of objects from world cultures and religions. At times it felt as though a little too much had been attempted an the galleries could be a little confusing and overwhelming. The aquarium for example was small with few tanks, I felt I would have seen more in my local pet shop! My advise would be to go with a clear idea of what you want to see and stick to that area. The individual collections are overall good with lots of interactive interpretation, if something's gory, it's great to find that out. My favourite was the world cultures area- showcasing objects and clothing from indigenous populations all over the globe. This is a snap of an African Village's communal voodoo doll! Even though we were too late arriving to make it to the space show, we had a great time, especially Freddie (aged 18months).
