Thoroughly enjoyable visit - I visited The Beatles Story whilst in Liverpool so wasn't sure what to expect with this one. I was initially put off by the £17 entry fee but then I decided to go for it. A truly excellent museum with some fantastic exhibits and memorabilia, for example the Sgt Pepper suits, instruments played by the band and items of clothing worn by the band. A Pair of seats from the famous Shea stadium concert as well as many others. It's on 3 floors which go in chronological order charting the band's history. I consider myself to be a big fan of The Beatles but found out some facts I didn't know about them. Also it wasn't too crowded. Having been here and The Beatles Story I would recommend both as they are good in different ways.

My Sweet Lord, this is amazing!! - A great experience for anyone, not just diehard Beatles fans! Across multiple floors, you are given one of the best explanations of the Beatles anyone will ever give you from formation to split, with plenty of items owned by the Beatles as visual aid (heavy focus on Pete Best as well, an underrated fifth Beatle in my opinion!) This stands out of the many Beatles attractions across Liverpool as one of the attractions I think you can't go to Liverpool and not visit, the location is in the global heart of Rock and Roll as well, Mathew Street! Just get your ticket to ride (more or less,) and into Beatlesland you go!

Don't bother - read the other 1-star reveiws - Highly disappointing and low quality "Museum"!! - My partner and I - massive Beatles fans- travelled up from London for his birthday to go on the National Trust tour to John and Pauls' houses (worthwhile) and thought we would spend our morning at the Museum, based on the positive reviews. We couldn't even string it out to an hour. As other have stated, it is really a Pete Best museum (fair enough, given the family connection and collection) on the first floor level, but on the remaining 2 levels, post-1962, it fizzles out very quickly and has nothing of any value to the Beatles, post-Best. And if it does (there are the odd item, as the management will point out) then you could easily miss it because of the dreadful layout amidst a sea of random, printed out photos and posters. It is exceptionally poorly curated, it's just full of photos and posters (which you'll have seen in many books and online, if you know anything about the Beatles) full of replicas, and has very little worth seeing - a handful of items at best. It's also littered with AWFUL and tacky fan-artwork, for example, an awful painting of Paul emulating the famous photos by Richard Avedon for the Daily Express....Why not just buy a set of the famous posters? They are available and at least that would be a genuine artefact! It is effectively a collection of prints and photos stuck behind perspex, some of which are just floating above skirting board levels (including text - really handy to read!) and it's overall just completely lacking in relevance, quality, narrative, layout and curation. If you are an actual Beatles fan, you will be utterly disappointed; if you are new to the Beatles, you will learn very little about them post-1962. The low-point, which for me summed it up to the point where I started just laughing and made my way to the exit, was probably the "India" section, and an old AA sign to a John Lennon concert... presumably from a concert after his death; who knows - there was no context given. I think they would be much better to rename it "Beatles: The Early Years", focus on the years up to 1962, reduce the quantity of tat and replicas, get some one competent to actually curate the place, and focus on doing less, much better. I'm not being cruel, this is an honest review from 2 true Beatles fans who felt conned and very disappointed. And at £17 a head they are taking the mick - they must be making a killing and clearly aren't investing it into the quality of the exhibition; only lining their pockets and exploiting Beatles fans and tourists to Liverpool. No wonder everyone looked so miserable leaving as we were going in! And it's not even about money - if it was free I would still hold the same thoughts; it's simply not worth going to, unless you want to exclusively read about the early years with Pete Best and Mona. Read the other 1-star reviews and you will see I am not alone - we are at a total loss as to why anyone actually into the Beatles would come here.

Avoid! Scamming. - Avoid! Avoid! A horrible experience that disappointed us incredibly, felt almost disgusted actually. There were almost no original objects of relevance. Much was copied photos, other objects would look like originals but was then "the same type of guitar that X used". Would rather be called Pete Best museum because most original objects came from him or his mother and grandmother(!). Absurd. Felt really like a tourist trap and a way to make money. Gave a really bad aftertaste. Try Music Museum instead (did not visit but must be better than this).
