When I was little

‘When I was little’ is a free activity for children aged between 3 to 7 and their families, where you can discover museum objects together and share stories and memories using a special activity backpack.

The activity is available to families, children, grandparents and those living with dementia. Take a walk around the Museum of Liverpool with other families, accompanied by a 'When I was little' bag pack and a member of our team.

You will journey together through Liverpool’s history as you explore memories of older relatives and family lives. Children can be inspired by what they’ve seen and talked about and get creative in a ‘When I was little’ album, included in a backpack filled with objects and toys. You can take the album away with you as a keepsake of the day.

The activity is available on the following times
