Liverpool Beatles Museum

About

The Liverpool Beatles Museum is a world‑class destination that celebrates the life, music, and legacy of the world’s most iconic rock band. Housed in a Grade II listed building on Liverpool’s famous Mathew Street, the collection spans three floors and houses over 1,000 authentic Beatles items – from original instruments to personal letters and stage costumes. Visitors step back in time through a carefully curated timeline that chronicles the band’s formative years in Liverpool and Hamburg, the explosive Beatlemania era, and the innovation of the studio years. The museum’s open, airy galleries allow guests to view treasured artifacts such as the guitar frets of John Lennon, Paul McCartney’s white cello, and the original drum kit used by Pete Best. The museum offers a variety of experiences for all ages. Families can explore interactive exhibits and watch musicians perform free concerts in the venue’s historic hall. History enthusiasts can delve into primary source documents and study the social and cultural impact of the Beatles’ music. School groups receive guided tours and educational workbooks that help students connect music history to the wider world. Tickets are available online for £20 for adults and £15 for concessions; children under five enter free. The museum is open seven days a week from 10:00 to 17:00, making it convenient for day‑trippers and extended visitor programmes alike.
