Undoubtedly, one of the best and certainly the most famous band to come out of Liverpool has to be The Beatles.

 

Listened to and adored by millions across the entire world, thousands of tourists flock to the Fab Four’s home city each year, some making the trip to Liverpool especially, others simply adding it to their itinery.

 

Located at the Albert Dock, the full Beatles story from the early years to Paul McCartney’s solo work is told in detail.  Including a full-size replica of the Cavern Club, Abbey Road studios and a walk-through Yellow Submarine in its underwater setting, the interactive displays will use all of your senses; sight, sound, touch – and yes, even smell!  Accompanying audio narrative, by John Lennon’s sister, Julia, also includes the actual voices of Paul McCartney, Brian Epstein and Cynthia Lennon.

 

The exhibition itself includes many rare artefacts, including George Harrison’s first guitar.  Its interactive displays bring the music to life and some, including the “Lenses of Lennon”, where you can look through his famous round glasses, raise strong emotion in many.

 

Expanded in 2008, The Beatles Story, one of Liverpool’s most famous tourist attractions, includes a gift shop, interactive Discovery Zone for the kids (so they can also learn to appreciate the music of The Beatles) and themed cafe.

 

The Beatles Story is one of the jewels in the city’s crown.  Make sure you don’t miss it on your stay in Liverpool.
