Magical Beatles Museum Tours

Opened in 2018, the Magical Beatles Museum tells the story of the Fab Four through a 1,200-strong collection of memorabilia, which belongs to the brother of first Beatles drummer, Pete Best. Highlights includes John Lennon’s Sgt. Pepper medals, the I Am the Walrus cello, and Starr’s Ludwig snare drum.
The Basics
The museum is located just a few doors down from the Cavern Club on Mathew Street, a staple of most Beatles-focused city tours, which also tend to cover Penny Lane and the statue of Cilla Black. To save time waiting on the day, book admission tickets in advance and spend an hour or two browsing the chronologically-organised collection, which also encompasses personal items such as letters, photographs, clothes, and telegrams.
Things to Know Before You Go
How to Get There
Find the museum with ease on a city tour or arrive by hop-on hop-off bus, nearly all of which stop nearby. Alternatively, the museum is a short walk from James Street, which is served by Merseyrail links from London and Scotland, and under ten minutes from Lime Street Station, the city’s main station.
When to Get There
The museum opens daily, with last admission in the early evening. Today, Mathew Street is one of Liverpool’s busiest areas, especially during the evening, so visit on a weekday morning to avoid the crowds.
