Traveler reviews

    I had often walked past this gem without really noticing it as the entrance is just off the main road on the university campus. It is free to enter and there is a cafe inside serving a range of set dishes, notably Scouse with a cheese scone, very nice. There are 3 floors of exhibits and a glass elevator for ease of access. The exhibits are varied and interesting but the architecture steals the show, well worth a visit and easily accessible from Liverpool Central station with a frequent bus service up the hill. They also do sketching sessions at set times were you can go along and join in.

    When living in Liverpool years ago, for some reason, I took no notice of this building on the way into town. Now, with fresh eyes, it’s so beautiful! The architecture outside should have prepared me for the interior design inside, but I was still blown away. Then of course there was the brilliant eclectic collection of art, sculpture, pottery & artefacts. Well worth a visit.
