Museum / LIVERPOOL

World Museum

Choose World Museum for a day that follows curiosity across natural history and human cultures. Dinosaurs and ancient Egypt make useful starting points, but a family does not need to work through every floor. Its William Brown Street location makes it a practical main stop near the Walker Art Gallery and the Lime Street area.
