We arrived in Liverpool for one day from London by train, the trip takes about two and a half hours. The main goal was, of course, attending the Beatles Museum - the places of pilgrimage of fans of the famous Liverpool group from around the world.
We planned to ride on Yellow Duckmarine, amphibian bus. This is a miracle of technology, of course, a yellow color wheel in the city, and then it slides in the water and floats along the river. Unfortunately or fortunately, the attraction was abolished due to an emergency on the water shortly before our trip.
On the day of our arrival, Liverpool was cold, a strong wind blew, the rain was hung without a break. View from the waterfront, and do not think that this is a black and white photo.
The Beatles Story Museum is located in Albert Dock, in the historic building of the Liverpool port from red brick, and tells the story of the famous four from the creation before the breakdown of the group. In the halls of the museum you can see tools that belonged to musicians, stage costumes and personal belongings, sink from Eleanor Rigby's tombstones, ride on a yellow submarine, and in all the halls the music The Beatles sounds, selected in accordance with the period of which the exposition tells. The scene of the Liverpool Cavern Club is recreated, in which the group performed at the beginning of a career, even a fragment of the street on which the club was located.
Yellow submarine bouffags, letters bubbles, you can enter inside, look at the periscope, twist the handles.
The screens are demonstrated by non-stop cadres of newsreel, movies with the participation of the group. In the halls of the museum, many exhibits associated with Bitomania are various items with the image of the participants of the quartet. There is even an exposure dedicated to the Beatles fans from the Soviet Union and Russia. John Lennon's hall, white piano sounds imagine.
In the store with a museum you can buy souvenirs with the Beatles symbols - icons, magnets, postcards and posters, T-shirts.
Cold rain with the gusts of the wind did not stop, so we canceled walking around the city and raised time to the reverse train in the cafe.
