Museums

There are several museums across Liverpool, charting the history of the city and its impact on the widerworld, from the darker side of its maritime past to the swinging sixties. There are plenty of options (free entry for most) in the city centre alone: Museum of Liverpool, Maritime Museum, International Slavery Museum, The Beatles Story, World Museum and British Music Experience.

The mosque at 8 Brougham Terrace was the first to be established in England and the Al Rahma mosque near the city centre holds up to 1,000 people. Liverpool also has a thriving Jewish community and the Princes Road Synagogue is one of the finest buildings in the city. Nigerian, Somalian and Sikh communities are well established, alongside a Hindu temple on Edge Lane and active Buddhist centre in Aigburth.
