Here, There and Everywhere with The Beatles: The Liverpool Museum
This Thursday, December 8, marks the 31st anniversary of the day John Lennon was shot and killed outside his apartment in New York City. While fans of Lennon and The Beatles will come together at Central Park's Strawberry Fields to remember him, we'll spend this week focusing on other places to visit to dip into Beatles history.Today: Liverpool's "The Beatles Story" Museum.Love The Beatles' music, but not up on your Beatles history ? This is where to come for something like Beatles 101, with a dash of Liverpool's own music past. The museum is divided into two buildings, one with a 4D film and the other with the bulk of the experience, which takes visitors from the start of The Beatles' fame with mock-ups of the clubs they played and the radio stations that played them, clear through to John Lennon's white piano.
