Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder was a Doctor Who exhibition at the World Museum in Liverpool. The exhibition covered various aspects of Doctor Who's history, focussing on the various links to real world science. It featured many screen-used props, costumes and models, along with explanatory text, interactive displays and videos.

Overview

An exhibition covering the links between Doctor Who and science, as well as housing many props, costumes and models from throughout the show's history. It was situated on the second floor of Liverpool's World Museum and also featured a shop selling many different pieces of Doctor Who merchandise.

Notable elements

The exhibition was broken up into a series of relatively large rooms. While most were named, a few were unnamed and have therefore been named conjecturally.

Before the exhibition

  • A statue of a Weeping Angel was located in the entrance to the museum.
  • A statue of a Dalek was located on the ground floor of the museum.
  • The exhibition was on the second floor. A large full-length mural was located on the wall of the corridor connecting the exhibition's entrance to its shop and exit. Among other things, the mural depicted:

Quotes room

After entering the exhibition, visitors would find themselves in a dark hallway with quotes from the Doctor and many famous real world people. These were:

Throughout the rest of the exhibition, there were further quotes from the following people:

At the end of the hallway, there was a TARDIS-themed door leading into the next area.

Console room

At the centre of the next area was the reconstruction of the original TARDIS control console used for the An Adventure in Space and Time docudrama, marked by an accompanying information panel as "The TARDIS console Mk 1". Exhibits, graphics and information panels were located around the walls of this room. Turning left from the TARDIS door entrance and following the console room round clockwise to the exit, these were:

TARDIS Tech Room

The next room focussed primarily on the technology exhibited by the show, both realistic and otherwise. It was comprised of information panels, props, models and videos. To aid in listing these elements, they have been split up by the wall they were on, relative to when you first enter the area.

Connecting area: sound

A small area linked the TARDIS Tech Lab area to the Cosmic Curiosities area. While not officially designated as separate, it was unclear which section this area was intended to be part of and so is presented separately here. It featured two short information panels. The first detailed the Huygens probe, an acoustic probe released from the Cassini spacecraft that used a microphone to record atmospheric sounds from Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The second primarily focussed on Doctor Who's soundtrack in the 1960s and 70s. It also briefly described the '3D' sound used in the 2017 episode Knock Knock. Additionally, this area played atmospheric sounds taken from the "Classic Series" of Doctor Who.

Cosmic Curiosities

After the brief connecting room was a room that focussed primarily on space and space exploration.

Immediately to the left of and on the same wall as the entrance was:

  • An information panel about how ring modulation is used to create the Daleks' voices.
  • A ring modulator.
  • An interactive feature where visitors could speak into a microphone to have their voice made to sound like a Dalek.
  • An accompanying panel provided suggested phrases that visitors could try saying. These were:
    • EXTERMINATE!
      YOU ARE AN ENEMY 0F THE DALEKS!
      YOU MUST BE DESTROYED!!
    • EXTERMINATE ALL HUMANS!
      DALEKS CONQUER AND DESTROY!!!
      DALEKS CONQUER AND DESTROY!!!
    • ALL INFERIOR CREATURES ARE TO BE
      CONSIDERED THE ENEMY OF THE DALEKS,
      AND DESTROYED!
    • THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
      WE WILL PREPARE, WE WILL GROW STRONGER.
      WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT WE WILL EMERGE
      AND TAKE OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE AS THE
      SUPREME POWER OF THE UNIVERSE!
  • This panel also included a humorous warning that people who spend too much time playing with the exhibit may experience side effects such as a craving to dominate the entire universe.

In the middle of this area, near the entrance, was a screen used prop for Omega from Arc of Infinity. The rest of the exhibits in this area were on either the left or right wall and are presented in this way here.
