Beatles Story Liverpool

The Beatles Story Liverpool museum is an attraction that music fans won’t want to miss when traveling around England. Based in Liverpool’s historic Albert Dock area, this award-winning institution offers privileged insight into the life and times of the best-selling band in history – The Beatles. The museum has been expanded since it first opened in 1990, and its growth and popularity have led to the founding of a branch site. The second Beatles Story museum, or the Beatles Story Pier Head, is housed inside the Mersey Ferry Terminal. A shuttle bus offers a connection between the two museums, and if you prefer walking, you can stroll from one to the other in about 10 minutes.

The exhibits and attractions at the Beatles Story Liverpool museum cover the complete story of The Beatles. This story begins in the late 1950s with the meeting of Paul McCartney and John Lennon and continues on to 1970, the year of the band’s breakup. Visitors can also learn about the subsequent solo careers of the band members in the "Going Solo" areas. Audio guides are available in eight different languages at the Beatles Story, and among the exhibit highlights in the original museum are John Lennon’s famous round glasses, George Harrison’s first guitar, and the world’s only blue-colored White Album. Over at the Beatles Story Pier Head, visitors can take a trip through the music of The Beatles in a state-of-the-art theater and check out photographs that were previously never seen. Another Beatles Story Liverpool highlight is the Discovery Zone. This interactive area caters to kids and helps to make the museum a great family attraction.
