Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 17:02 · Archive

An expanded Beatles Story museum will open in central Liverpool in 2028, managed by Apple Corps.

Apple Corps Ltd. has announced plans for a major new Beatles attraction in Liverpool, to open in 2028. The expanded Beatles Story museum will relocate from its current home in the docklands to the former St. John's Market, a 100,000-square-foot site in the city centre near Lime Street train station.

The new venue will use immersive technology, original artifacts and spectacular reconstructed sets to trace the band's journey from their childhoods in postwar Liverpool through their early years playing in Hamburg bars, to their rise to global fame. Sets and props from Sam Mendes' upcoming quartet of feature films about John, Paul, George and Ringo will recreate iconic locations including Liverpool's Cavern Club, Abbey Road studios in London, and Shea Stadium.

The nearby St Johns Beacon, a 400-foot former radio tower, will be transformed into a separate tourist attraction inspired by the band's 'Yellow Submarine' song and animated film, offering views over the city. The timing of the 2028 opening is designed to coincide with the release of Mendes' films, which are expected to generate renewed global interest in the band.
