We went to the Maritime Museum with little expectations, having never visited one before. However this museum truly set the bar high... the information and displays provided were thought provoking...

We visited on our drive from Leeds to London. It was very beautiful. I liked it. I do not have much to say, but it was nice. Yes.

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
