The Beatles Story
About
A large-scale museum at the Royal Albert Dock tracing the band's story from Liverpool childhoods through the Cavern years, Hamburg, Beatlemania and beyond, using recreated sets, memorabilia and a multimedia audio guide included in the ticket price and available in twelve languages. The Discovery Zone (weekends and school holidays) is aimed at younger visitors, and the site includes two Fab4 Cafes and shops. This is the large, comprehensive Beatles museum experience, distinct from the Cavern Club itself, which is the actual surviving performance space nearby on Mathew Street.
