Some of the best learning takes place through exploration and hands-on activity. Over the years we have pioneered the development of interactive centres offering opportunities to get close to our collections.
At World Museum Liverpool you can get hands-on with our humanities collections in the Weston Discovery Centre and our science collections in the Clore Natural History Centre, the Bug House and the Aquarium.
Also in World Museum Liverpool is the Treasure House Theatre where museum demonstrators use new technology to tell the stories about items in our archaeological, ethnographic and natural science collections. In the Planetarium our specially written shows will take you through space and time to learn about the universe.
At the Walker Art Gallery Big Art for Little Artists introduces children to art through fun activities, books, jigsaws and computers. It is suitable for children up to and including the age of eight. There are also lots of things to do in our online feature about Big Art for Little Artists.
Young visitors will also enjoy the Sea Urchins early years play area at Merseyside Maritime Museum, which has lots of activities inspired by the objects in the museum including costumes, activity sheets and story books. You can find out how heavy a diver's helmet is, ring the ship's bell or take the helm at a ship's wheel.
