Manchester SIM Hub Liverpool World Museums Visit

by Charity Secretary29/04/2025Leave a comment

On Monday, 31st March, the Manchester SIM Hub visited the World Museum Liverpool for a guided tour led by three expert curators: Alan, Wendy, Emma and PhD student Sabrina. Their deep knowledge and enthusiasm brought the museum’s collections to life as we explored Liverpool’s rich heritage in scientific instrumentation, horology, and the astronomy. We even had the opportunity to review some of the artefacts up close during the afternoon session.

Thank you again to the museum team for a superb visit.

Many thanks Sam White

What could be better than a stroll in the warm, autumn sunshine, through the heart of the City, with no cars to bother you, because, thoughtfully, all the roads have been closed to traffic, just to preserve your peace of mind? Indeed, why not march down the centre of the road, and get a once-in-a-lifetime view of the striking buildings on either side? Add in the crowds, who are standing four deep next to the road and cheering you on, and your stately progress verges on the royal!
