The Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder exhibition opened at World Museum Liverpool this week and it’s a must-see for fans.
At the exhibition you can explore the world of the longest running sci-fi TV show and learn more about the science behind it, including astronomy, time travel and nature. There are many things to see at Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder at the World Museum, including props, costumes, gadgets, behind the scenes footage and monsters.
You enter Worlds of Wonder by stepping through the doors of the TARDIS while the iconic Doctor Who music plays. Then your adventure into time and space begins, as you make your way around the exhibit taking in the incredible sights.

Everywhere you look there are familiar items from the show, plus plenty of monsters lurking in every corner. Even though I’m now 25, seeing the Weeping Angel in person made me want to hide behind the sofa just like I did when I was 11 years old when I saw the chilling creature on screen for the first time.
Having the opportunity to see such iconic props and costumes up close felt like an honour, and you really appreciate the hard work that’s gone into making them. The exhibition also features interactive elements including the opportunity to sound like a Dalek by recording your voice and playing it back with the creepy sound effect.
I found Worlds of Wonder opened my eyes to how Doctor Who has touched generations of people. There are props, costumes and monsters from across the show’s 60 year history, including the different variations of the Cyberman and how it developed over the years.
As World Museum Liverpool is hosting the premiere of the exhibition, there’s also a section about Doctor Who’s connection with the city. This includes information about the programme’s stars who are from Liverpool, as well as some of the city's iconic locations that feature in the show.
Even if you’re not a diehard Doctor Who fan, you’re bound to enjoy Worlds of Wonder and learn something new, as there’s plenty of information boards and screens to talk you through each display. The show is so iconic that I believe seeing a Cyberman or Dalek in person is bound to thrill anybody, no matter your age.
Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder is at World Museum Liverpool from May 27 to October 30 2022. You can book tickets here.
