  • I was shocked how long I was here! I thought I would be no more than a half hour as ships and naval history is not my jam but there is so much more that is appealing: the Titanic exhibit, the history of Liverpool Blitz exhibit, etc. And the International Slavery museum on the 3rd floor is incredible: moving, interesting and so well-curated. I’ll save that for a separate review.
  • Free to enter but recommended donation of £5 (no pressure to donate though). Big museum with loads to see over 3 floors. Customs and Excise exhibit really interesting. Cafe was a bit rubbish - no menus anywhere and staff not particularly forthcoming but went to a food van outside the museum instead and then back in once we'd eaten. A few interactive things to do if you have kids. A good day out
