We arrived in Liverpool sort of by accident due to a map issue and decided to make the most of it by visiting some of the sites. We were a little short on time but we decided to go straight to the floor which housed the International Slavery Museum which I actually do think is the most important part of the museum. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the rest of the museum (but we will visit again in the future) but the Slavery floor was well worth it. I found myself in tears reading the stories and the exhibits and exceptionally uncomfortable at much of the content, including the KKK garb. The experience was powerful and sobering. Very much looking forward to visiting again.

The museum is great but we really enjoyed the walking tour of the old docks!! What an amazing history of Liverpool. Too see where the original old docks were located vs where the docks are today was so interesting. It was also amazing to us how closely tied Liverpool was to the USA confederate states....so interesting. It gives a lot of color to what life must have been like in Liverpool in those days.

Excellent museum. Yes, there's a lot about the Titanic and similar incidents but the museum provides exhibits and information that tell the story from different perspectives that usual. There's also a history of the docklands area and, if you time it right they do tours of the Old Dockyard. I loved the interactive talks. Although aimed at families with children, I still enjoyed them as an adult. All the staff I spoke ti were great, but special credit to the two lovely ladies who did the "talks" I saw on Saturday 30th September. Your enthusiasm was infectious. Would highly reccomend this museum.

Great way to spend a couple of hours. Slavery exhibition was interesting although felt a bit disjointed when trying to follow a logical way around the exhibits. Titanic exhibition was great. Staff very friendly and cafe was perfect place to refuel half way round.

Very well put together with a great mixture of visual and written information. It gives an overview of English/British maritime history as well as the development of the docks in Liverpool. Staff friendly and helpful. Gift shop could be better. Not a great range of items, especially if you are interested in the subject matter.

I was initially excited about visiting this museum, but it seemed to suffer from a lack of thoughtful curation. There were too many objects and artifacts and too much text. I did enjoy the Lusitania exhibit, mainly because it was a smaller topic than others The vitally important International Slavery Museum would benefit from more focus and flow. Personally, I would be interested to learn much more about Liverpool's role in the slave trade, and, indeed the maritime industry's role in supporting the south in the U.S. Civil War. The cafe was pleasant as was sitting at the tables outside on a nice day.

Fantastic museum spread over several floors. Loads of interactive exhibits to keep our youngest interested whilst we had chance to read the information boards. Loads of toilet facilities on each floor which were spotless. Definitely worth visiting and it’s free.

The museum occupies warehouse block D at the impressive and historic Albert Dock. The highlight has to be the focus on the Titanic which sank on 15 April 1912 and the British ship Lusitania which sank after being attacked by a German U-boat during World War I on 7 May 1915. A detailed description of the ships are provided. White Star Line which owned the Titanic was in Liverpool, so Titanic carried "Liverpool" on her stern. There are some impressive items to see including actual artifacts taken from the wreck. You can also discover the extraordinary stories of emigration to a new world and how many thousands travelled from the port of Liverpool. A must is also a visit to the sombre International Slavery Museum which is based on its third floor.

The museum is a great way of learning how Liverpool emerged and the pepole that made the City was it is today.. The first floor I noticed was all about Customs, How Customs work and what it was like back many years ago..On the second floor it was About The Titanic,The crew, Passengers , I liked that a lot because of the memorabilia and some great pictures of the ship and crew. The third floor was about The Slave Trade that came to Liverpool, Very touching, With some pepole telling what it was like. It is free , But a donation is much appreciated, Situated in The Docks. The staff were Very friendly..

Wow! Just go, and explore this incredible FREE museum - just go! We loved the history, the important links to Liverpool and the world...the stories and primary sources of information are first-rate. I was very moved by the exhibition on the sinking of the Lusitania...told with gentleness - yet the horrific losses and their impacts still horrendous to cause a wave of horror in 2023.
