Museum of Liverpool
The story of the city, from the docks to the football to the music, free, on the waterfront.
The wedge-shaped building on the Pier Head covers Liverpool's history through objects people actually recognise: an Overhead Railway carriage, football shirts, the Beatles' early days, the story of Scouse. The galleries are broad rather than deep and children move through them happily. Free, with the best window in the city over the river.
