“The Liverpool Beatles Museum in Mathew Street is, in my opinion, far and away the finest display of Beatles' memorabilia. My wife, a friend and I attended the exhibition for the second time yesterday. We first went a few years ago and, even then, I was blown away with the contents on display. The exhibition is split into different time zones, each on different floors. There is an added audio service if desired.
