Beatles Museum

Central Germany


Take a ‘magical mystery tour’ through the life and music of the Fab Four at the only year-round, though overly commercial, dedicated Beatles Museum on the European continent. Hard-core fan Rainer Moers has amassed enough knick-knacks to cram three floors with baby photos, birth certificates, album covers, film posters, wigs, jigsaws and even talcum powder – nothing is too trivial to be displayed.
