Museums
Museums I have visited (in alphabetical order)
Botanic Gardens Museum – with Dad, before it closed, every time we went to the park.
International Slavery Museum – with school.
Lawnmower Museum – with Grandad: ‘Very informative. Let’s give them a five-star review.’
Merseyside Maritime Museum – with school.
Museum of Liverpool – with Dad after doing some Christmas shopping at Liverpool One.
National Football Museum – last summer with Colin: ‘Fit men in shorts, Clo, what’s not to like?’
World Museum – with Dad, Kelly and the boys. There’s a giant spider on the ceiling. Yikes!
My top three museums
Botanic Gardens Museum
They had a 1,500-year-old canoe, a shrimping cart and a big collection of stuffed animals. There was an ice-cream shop next door. The council closed it to save money.
World Museum
Good, despite the giant spider. There’s an aquarium and there are drawers of moths and butterflies and beautiful rocks. Upstairs, there’s a planetarium.
Merseyside Maritime Museum
A museum about the sea that’s right next to the docks, literally. I liked ‘Titanic and Liverpool – the Untold Story’. It’s where I got the idea.
