Five floors of a massive former Victorian warehouse house this breath-taking collection of over 1000 items. Visitors will be swept along on a wave of unimaginable nostalgia as they explore an awe inspiring wealth of authentic items including, original guitars and drums from the Hamburg days, interviews with those that took part in the journey including Sir Paul McCartney, John Lennon’s itinerary from their first American tour, the mysterious white cello from “Magical Mystery Tour”, medals from the pop art masterpiece “Sgt Pepper”, the earliest ever enchanting footage of the Beatles playing live, genuine gold and platinum discs, quirky props from their films and photo shoots, personal letters and belongings, seats from Shea Stadium and Candlestick Park, spotlights and studio monitors from the iconic Abbey Road Studios and so much more. The Liverpool Beatles Museum promises to provide an unforgettable experience that visitors will cherish and remember for years and years to come.
This was an ok exhibit however we had done the Beatles Story in the morning and found it to be a little more thorough. If you are on Mathew St at the Cavern Club for example it’s worth it. If you are at the docks then go to the Beatles Story. They are both about the same cost!
Excellent museum definitely worth checking out. Provides lots of information about the Beatles. There are three floors so give yourself enough time to look at everything. You can purchase a hearing set to hear the narrative for 1 pound so not bad and easier than reading all the information.
Three hour visit( 3hours) don't need to say more !!! if your a fan who's interested in all things Beatles "roll up for history tour"-nearly bought pint mug with no handle,NEARLY ! -(£15......put it back)
Lots of interesting pictures and memorabilia. Three floors each focuses on a different period in their career
The area was definitely busy with people. When we got to the museum to do our tour there was nobody in line and we walked in without a wait. The attendant said that’s the way it generally is there. No need in this instance to buy a skip the line pass when you walk right in. The museum itself had a lot of information, original items and was a good experience. I would recommend touring the Beatles museum, again in our case no need for the skip the line pass. I didn’t even look at the admission cost so I don’t know what we might have saved just buying tickets at the museum when we got there.
This is not an interesting museum. Not much is original to the Beatles.
My wife and I grew up in the 60’s and included Liverpool in our England/Scotland driving trip especially for the Beatles tours. We are from the States and looked forward to this part of our trip. We were not disappointed. We enjoyed the many displays and the highlights of the audio tour. This museum was a highlight of our trip, for sure. So many items and great explanations for the history of the Fab Four. We are seniors so we appreciated the discounted admission. I took so many picture of the memorabilia they will take time to organize. I learned so much about the Beatles I never knew. We spent a good hour walking through the museum. It is an older facility, looks aged, and is not handicap accessible so users should consider this. Three floors and narrow steps. Glad we made the trip when we did. Many visitors on the day we visited. We recommend this tour to you.
Loads of great memorabilia photos and history . A great way to learn a bit more of the different eras of the band
Really fun and educational experience. All the memorabilia was really cool!
Absolutely fantastic Beatles museum. Well curated with outstanding and unique displays! Highly recommended to Beatles fans and music fans alike!
Pretty good. Some interesting stuff and presumably Pete Best's family have some connection as there's lots on him! It's probably more for the Beatle nerds but I am one! I think teenagers will probably prefer the other museum which is more visual.
Easy to get to in central Liverpool. Surprisingly next to a Beatles themed bar! This one is absolutely for the Beatles fanatics (beatlemaniacs?) The level of detail to the band’s story is wild. I only put 4/5 because it’s a lot to take in for someone with a passing knowledge of the Beatles and you will need sturdy legs for all the standing and reading. At the same time I’m glad there was enough in there to keep me occupied for an hour or two. I underestimated what a Beatles museum could be! Stools to borrow would be a good shout. Can guarantee a true Beatles fan would score this 6/5! The objects were great and had tangible stories to tell. Audio tour was a nice addition but I don’t know if it added much. I think a more descriptive audio tour would rock. Staff were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The range of products in the gift shop is good.
That there are a lot of stairs to go up and down. That there are a lot of stairs to go up and down. That there are a lot of stairs to go up and down.
Fascinating and in my opinion much more authentic than the Beatles Experience at the Albert Dock. So many original artifacts. This is run by the Best family, whose matriarch Mo really gave the Beatles their start at the Casbah Coffee Club. Neil Aspinall and Mo Best accumulated a huge wealth of original items which are displayed here, such as the penknife confiscated from John Lennon after he carved his name at the Casbah. My favourite of all the exhibits has to be a pair of Jehn Lennons glasses. Combine this with a tour of the Casbah Coffee Club and you will see some invaluable Beatles history.
This is a great deep dive into the Beatles history and we came away having learnt a hell of a lot. The only sour point in our visit was tghe place mat I bought in the shop. It cost £8 but when I went to the Liverpool Museum and Strawberry Fields it was on sale there for only £4. Be warned!
The amount of material they have is incredible however be careful when you spend money in the souvenir shop as you can get the same items at half price in the Liverpool museum
I can't recommend this highly enough. While its fairly cramped premises mean that everything is crammed into a cosy series of displays over three floors, the authenticity of the exhibits more than compensate and make it a far more informing and satisfying experience than the anodyne Beatles Story at Albert Dock. The museum has been largely curated by the Best family and thus the real gem is the first floor, which covers the period from the early days of The Quarrymen and Lennon and McCartney's fateful meeting at the Woolton Village Fete in 1957, through to drummer Pete Best being unceremoniously ousted from the band in mid-1962, days before they recorded Love Me Do at EMI Studios. The crucial role that Pete's mother, Mona Best, played in nurturing the fledgling Beatles is finally given the credit it deserves - including in a video interview with McCartney - and there is a wealth of previously unseen photographs, beautifully reproduced. And if you've ever wondered why The Beatles had particular reason to be grateful to the jockey Lester Piggott, you'll find out here. The 2nd and 3rd floors cover the years from the release of Please Please Me onwards and, while once again the collection itself is absorbing, the story has been so well told that hardcore Beatles fans will not learn a great deal that hasn't already been covered by the likes of Mark Lewisohn and Beatles experts Jason Carty and Stephen Cochran, of the Nothing is Real podcast. It also repeats the now-debunked myth that the band refused to consider performing in the USA until they had achieved a No.1 hit there (Epstein had arranged some of their schedule before that event). But for the less-obsessed visitor will come away with their head spinning at just how much that group of young men (the oldest, Ringo, was only 30 when they disbanded) managed to cram into such a short space of time. And the background music is great, of course. I spent three hours there and it was only the rumbling in my stomach that accelerated my departure. Only one gripe - the walls on the staircases leading back out from the top floor pay tribute to many of the great entertainers and sports stars Liverpool has produced over the past century. It ends with a gallery of Liverpool singers and bands, from Gerry and the Pacemakers through to The Coral, but inexplicably makes no mention of Deaf School, who have often been described as the second most important band ever to emerge from the city. That, I'm afraid, is a serious oversight.
This is a very good museum- 3 floors of exhibits with a good audio tour. It would be difficult for anyone that has trouble with stairs (I didn’t see a lift). My only complaint is they play the background music too loud. It can be a distraction when you’re trying to focus on the exhibits and listen to the audio.
Being a fan since 1965, this was an experience that no Beatles fan would want to miss. The history is overwhelming. The museum was organized chronologically and had so much to see. Don’t miss this.
Especially if you grew up with the Beatles and know every album and song, this is for you! You can spend a few hours or literally all day looking at all the memoribilia and listening to the narratives and interviews, It is a walk thru time with individual headsets so you can pace yourself. Actually many new things i learned about them, especially John, The words to many of their songs now make such sense, from the heart and situations. Absolutely worth it!!
This was part of a long overdue visit to Liverpool. I travelled by myself so I could do exactly what I wanted - visit Mathew Street and walk down to the pier to see the statue. The Museum plays Beatle songs so you can hum along while you’re looking at the endless displays of memorabilia - it’s so much fun! I spent more time on the upper floors which covers their later years, and spent a lot of money in the gift shop (didn’t regret a cent!)
A very warm welcome and a really interesting tour around the museum. So many amazing artefacts. A treasure trove of memorabilia and really interesting first-hand accounts.
A good way to learn the Beatles history. Well worth it. Allow at least 90 mins to go through all floor.
Great museum, although not accessible by walker or wheelchair, we knew that ahead of time. Lots to see, listen to, take photos. Rent an audio guide for a pound.
A fabulous day out courtesy of the Fab Four! This is an excellent experience and not to be missed. We spent a lovely 2+ hours here learning more about the Beatles and I was particularly impressed with some of the early days info/photos which added loads to my knowledge of this iconic group.
Nice museum, lots of Paraphernalia and information however I got more out of a fully guided walk, which I did right before the Beatles Museum.
This museum is a gem. Lots of information not commonly known. A must visit if your a Beatles fan.
I don't know what I expected really, but I didn't enjoy this. The museum is very clean, well laid out though. Perhaps more avid Beatles fans would find this very interesting. Skip the queue ticket ... there was no queue and museum was quiet for a Saturday afternoon
The Liverpool Beatles Museum was our favorite Beatles stop in Liverpool. We consider ourselves to be seasoned Beatles fans, and appreciated how this museum had more in-depth artifacts. The gift shop also had some more unique items we hadn’t seen at other Beatles-related shops around the city.
I loved this museum! Three floors of Beately goodness to explore; a lot of of which was owned or used by members of The Beatles. Pete's drums, George 's OM medallion, John's glasses are just some of the treasures on display here.
Fantastic museum with a great history of the Beatles.
Spent 2 1/2 hours in museum. Very pleasant young man on admission desk suggested an audio guide - so pleased he did! We felt the entry fee was excellent value for money and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the exhibits over 3 floors. Would recommend museum!
Three floors of Beatles memorabilia, some interesting items and a very pleasant way to spend an hour or two. I'd definitely recommend a visit.
The museum contains lots of exhibits spread over 3 floors but it is not well laid out and the descriptions and audio guide were confusing at times.
I had a lovely experience in this museum. It is well organised so you can go around in the right order easily, you can pay for an audio guide for £1 as you go around. There is so much to see on 3 floors so well worth the price. There were no crowds and I spent about 2 and a half hours there but could easily have spent longer. The items on display are mostly original as the museum is owned by the best family. Would highly recommend a visit.
The museum had several floors of Beatle memorabilia. There was a lot of information about the pre Beatle era.
Booked online walked in no queue got asked if we wanted to purchase the phone for one pound ! Great value to listen to the audio description at each location as there are thirty as you follow the story of the Beatles you point the audio phone at the location number and it plays into a phone you put beside your ear. This really brought the walk around the museum to life. I would recommend getting the audio extra for one pound a person. The museum is set over three floors some great artefacts. As you finish the tour on the third floor toilets are there before coming down the wall of fame I love that bit was not expected and really interesting seeing all the famous people from Liverpool over the years on these walls and memorabilia. Shop on ground floor as you leave Selling all sorts of Beatles items.
Great experience! I knew a lot about the Beatles and I still learned a lot! My husband is not such a fan and he really enjoyed it! There is a lot to see and I found it completely absorbing!
Extremely and pleasantly surprised at this excellent museum, slightly hidden on Matthew street opposite the site of the original Cavern Club. . A great complement to the Beatles story and British Music experience museums. A must do for Beatles fans
very inaccessible for disabled people - even when rang before visit they gave us the wrong information. quite rude when we said we were leaving and wanted a refund
Awesome museum with lots of actual Beatles artifacts! Took about 2 hours to see all the exhibits, there's a lot of fact cards and pictures and its just a lovely museum !
This is the best Beatles museum in the entire universe! I have been to a few. Remember Beatles City in Seel street in the 80s? There are museums in other countries too like the one in Alkmaar in the Netherlands . I can mention more but I am sure you can google them. "This one" is IT!! I will keep going back as this is the beauty of this place, they keep coming up with new things. Thank you Roag for keeping the memories alive. You and your family are awesome.
I enjoyed looking through this museum. There was plenty to see. I would note that it is over three levels that are accessible by stair only.
Loved it, a lot of stuffs from fab4, amazing experience ❤️🎵 recomend to everyone, if you come to Liverpool you should visit🎵
By far the best, most comprehensive Beatles museum in Liverpool. This place is the real deal! Do not miss this stop if you are a Beatles fan.
Fascinating exhibition of Beatles memorabilia. Well laid out and lots of information on the various items. Well worth a visit.
Wow! I have visted almost every Beatles-related site on the planet (almost) and this was by far the best. Actual memorabilia that is a genuine part of the Beatles' history is here, everything from the early days to the split. From Hamburg to Apple, you can take a journey through the Beatles' history and be in the presence of what must be priceless artifacts to accompany you. Cannot recommend highly enough. The only disappointment was leaving! Six
We loved this so much. The museum is arranged on three floors, each focusing on a different era of the Beatles’ career. I am a superfan and thought I knew everything there was to know about the band but I learned plenty. I particularly enjoyed the sections on the band’s trips overseas and the gifts they were given, and was moved to tears by the last edition of the Dandy comic. An absolutely magnificent collection.
Unfortunately the exhibits are too cluttered. Even looking at the photos that are provided with the Trip Advisor entry you can see people straining to look at and read the displays. Some are well above head height and with regard to those on the stairs, even for those at a reasonable height, you cannot linger too long as people are trying to get past. I'm sure there are lots of the exhibits I had to miss due to this reason.
Great experience seeing some artefacts and reading some interesting information about the Beatles.Just be aware of the stairs to the different floors if you have mobility issues.
