Beatles Story

Liverpool's most popular museum won't illuminate any dark, juicy corners in the turbulent history of the world's most famous foursome - there's ne'er a mention of internal discord, drugs, Yoko Ono or the Frog Song - but there's plenty of genuine memorabilia to keep a Beatles fan happy.

Particularly impressive is the full-size replica Cavern Club (which was actually tiny) and the Abbey Road studio where the lads recorded their first singles, while George Harrison's crappy first guitar (now worth half a million quid) should inspire budding, penniless musicians to keep the faith. The museum is also the departure point for the Magical Mystery and Yellow Duckmarine tours.
