Such an amazing museum with so many great exhibits and things to look at! Definitely worth checking out; can't wait to bring others back to check it out too!

Joe Nelson

An absolutely fascinating collection of artifacts and photographs. My wife and I were lucky enough to get a personally guided tour from Mr Hines himself, and were in a state of awe throughout the entirety of the museum. Definitely a gem in Liverpool.

Eclectic doesn't even begin to describe! $5.00 gets an adult in the door so it's a super affordable outing for a family. The Museum of Photography is contained within the Rossignol Cultural Centre - which may account for some of the quirky oddness here. Example: a room devoted to Outhouses. yes. The staff member - an irrepressibly cheerful young lady - popped her head in, pointed upwards and said, by the way - that is Sherman Hines' actual toilet. Since his darkroom was in his toilet he ended up spending a LOT of time in there. We started to giggle but then she followed that with: Hey, wanna see a hippo jaw? and she reached for a box stuffed with newspaper; ta dah - hippo jaw. Look, she said, it has a loose tooth. and she giggled. At that moment for me, she became an Anne (of Green Gables). The building itself is architecturally interesting - and as lovely as it is - it seems too small to hold all the items in the collection, so many are displayed without identification / information and so many more are just stuffed in random boxes tucked here and there. I walked past a large narrow "table" about four times before someone pointed out that it was in fact part of camera. yes. We went through a trapper's cabin (???) and suddenly we were in a room full of taxidermy animals. A huge giraffe was right in front of us. "Anne" popped in and said - that giraffe is 18 feet tall and Sherman Hines shot it himself as part of a cull. Then she popped out and bounded back in and said, the polar bear is nine feet tall - and she was gone. I was thinking ... POLAR BEAR ...? but a little further in we saw it. There are some amazing artefacts, some photographs that just take your breath away - one picture we found was of the Bluenose, THE Bluenose - racing. It was taken in the 1930's and it's the best picture I've seen of that iconic ship. The Trudeau family photo, Pierre, Margaret and the three little boys is just around the corner from a black & white portrait of Mick Jagger. Coincidence? I'll leave it to you. At some point Sherman was in Mongolia, which might explain the Yurt out in the yard. ... as I said, Eclectic doesn't even begin describe! :) :)

Sherman Hines Museum of Photography includes Rossignol Cultural Centre outside which consists of a few shacks portraying life in the community over the last three centuries. The centre is interesting but needs better maintenance. Some of the shacks are quite dirty and dusty but one has to admit that this flaw gives the centre a quite unique old atmosphere as well.
