Western Approaches Museum, World War II command bunker museum in Liverpool, England.
The Western Approaches Museum contains restored military control rooms with original maps, communication equipment, and wartime artifacts from the 1940s Battle of the Atlantic.
This underground bunker, opened to the public in 1993, served as the secret headquarters for coordinating naval operations against German U-boats during World War II.
The museum exhibits highlight the contributions of the Women's Royal Naval Service members who operated communication systems and tracked enemy movements throughout the war.
Located in central Liverpool, the museum offers self-guided tours lasting 90 minutes, with admission tickets valid for unlimited visits during a 12-month period.
The facility houses one of two remaining wartime telephone lines that connected directly to the London War Cabinet during World War II operations.
