Liverpool Beatles Museum, formerly known as Magical Beatles Museum, is a museum dedicated to the Beatles located in 23 Mathew Street, Liverpool.
The museum was created by Roag Best, son of Neil Aspinall and Mona Best, half-brother of Pete Best.[2] It was inaugurated on 13 July 2018.[3]
The exposition displays 300 original items, with an addition of 1,200 in storage. It is located in a five-floor building, with three of the floors dedicated to a different period in the Beatles history. The first floor covers 1959–1962, while the second covers 1963–1966 and the third floor covers 1967–1970.[4][1]
Objects exposed include George Harrison's Futurama guitar, John Lennon's Sergeant Pepper medals, the cello from "I Am the Walrus" and Pete Best's Premier drum.[2] Other items displayed are Paul McCartney's bass speaker, Lennon's custom-made egg chair, police log books listing the names of the officers who guarded the Beatles during their visit of New York City,[5] the "All You Need Is Love" doll from the BBC Our World broadcast, and gifts that Elvis Presley gave to the Beatles.[6][7]
The building was a former warehouse from early 19th century and is listed as a Grade II by the English Heritage.[8]
