In 1966 Yoko & John met for the first time at her Unfinished Paintings and Objects exhibition at the Indica Gallery in London.
When told he would have to pay to вҖҳHammer a NailвҖҷ, he offered imaginary money to hammer an imaginary nail. Yoko has said she was infuriated at their first meeting, when John took a bite out of the apple she was displaying as a work of art.
You can discover more about John & Yoko in their own words in our Double Fantasy exhibition.

Come and make your wish. Amazing things will happen. Double Fantasy - John & Yoko @johnlennon @yokoono http://bit.ly/2Hvo2wL
We loved this museum, fantastic exhibits. Highly recommend
We had a fantastic afternoon there March 2018. 2 adults and 2 6-year-old children.
Plenty to see and do. So much to learn about Liverpool history and cultural influences right up to present day.
Children loved the kids activity area and the archeology crafts in the education room.
Excellent layout and provision for wheelchair users.
Like all Liverpool museums, entrance is free but please make a donation if you visit to keep these wonderful facilities going.
We had a fab time. Greater Arthur was fabulous and very informative about the exhibits
Very interesting &very clean it brings back lots of memories
The best place for families full of brillant exhibitions never get tired of visiting. Staff are so welcoming/friendly and so ready give you up to dste information and advice. Just love the 'picnic' eating room for our packed lunches.
Thank you to all the Museum and Cafe staff for looking after the Contact the Elderly group today you were all amazing and everyone really enjoyed it.
So much variety in such a small place grest displays on local history and Liverpool thru time didn't have enough time to do it justice....highly recommend and it's FREE.
So Unique in its Variety of subjects and interests . Every floor is a journey , Its Educational Entertaining and caters for all ages from five to older generations. Its a Jewell in Liverpool's crown and the views across River and pier head are worth a visit alone , ground floor cafe is recommended also .Proud scouser !
One of the most interesting and innovative museums I have ever visited. So much to see, and lots of interactive displays to get involved in. You could go several times and still find things you might have missed on previous visits.
It's the 1st time I've ever been Liverpool and I learned a lot about Liverpool how it made sugar and world war 1 and 2 and how trains was like from Liverpool I would recommend it to everyone and it's good that's it free
It was date day on Sunday 22nd April for me and my partner. We came over from Seacombe on the Mersey Ferry and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We both found the museum very educational and weвҖҷve learnt a lot. The museum was very big and spacious which is what I like. The only thing IвҖҷm disappointed in with is I collect fridge magnets and my partner was unable to buy one for me- we looked for Liverpool museum one.
I'd love to visit your museum. My book 'Intermission a Place in Time' involves the Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers and post WW2. It won an award. (Gerry rented our house in Leasowe when we moved to Wales.) The cover of my book is a ticket I picked up at sixteen after their concert at the Tower ballroom. I went to art school with John Lennon having won an art scholarship at fifteen.
Keep up the good work!

Great day out for children and adults. Loads of shows to see and things to do all day long. Plenty of lockers to put buggies and belongings to leave your hands free. The cafe is really good but a separate room for bring your own food, great idea for people with a big family.
Highly recommended.
Full of historical worth knowing information
Scramble for Africa and slave trade
Heartbreaking live videos and images
Fascinating John and Yoko exhibition. A must see for fans.
Fab museum. Needed more time so we'll be back thanks so much!
Excellent museum, we mainly came for the John Lennon exhibition but were blown away by the museum overall, fascinating insight into Liverpool old and new and great educational bits for kids.
I love the Museum of Liverpool. the great place to visit when you come to Liverpool city!!
Full of interesting information and artefacts. Lots of different sections to give many perspectives on Liverpool. The only drawback one of the staff started shouting at everybody to leave around 16.45. Not very pleasant. Maybe could do with being open in the evening some days.
Overall informative , dedicated space for young children, well positioned and very enjoyable.
