On a rare day to myself in Liverpool and a visit to some old friends in the World Museum.
My favourite exhibit, the giant Japanese Spider Crab is still there, over half a century later.
A giant pterosaur skeleton model hangs overhead.
The Ichtyosaur still cruises the depths next to the Silurian ocean.
The Black Knight rocket forms the main exhibit of the Space gallery along with remnants from the 1969 Moon Rock display.
A scale model of the Black Knight along with various other items.
What I mistakenly always assumed was a NERVA nuclear engine is the Astris rocket motor from the second stage of the Europa Rocket.
Skylark High Altitude Sounding Rockets
A model of Sputnik 1 in the main foyer, along with the giant Haida Totem Pole.
A small scale astronaut waits patiently in the main entrance.
Haven't been there for years. Good stuff.

ReplyDeleteIt must be one of the best city museums in the UK looking at the range of stuff in there.
