British Music Experience
About
Liverpool is the obvious home for a museum of British pop, and the British Music Experience sits in the Cunard Building at the Pier Head. It tells the story of British music through the clothes, instruments and objects of the people who made it, from stage outfits worn by Freddie Mercury, Dusty Springfield, Mick Jagger and the Spice Girls to handwritten lyrics and the original Brit Award statues. It is hands-on as well: there is a dance studio, a vocal booth, and a studio where you can pick up a guitar or sit at a drum kit.
