British Music Experience

Interactive museum of British pop music from 1945 to today

Address Cunard Building, Pier Head, Liverpool, L3 1DS

A well-curated museum of British popular music since the Second World War, housed on the ground floor of the Cunard Building at Pier Head. Eight chronological galleries take you from skiffle and Cliff Richard through the Beatles, Bowie, punk, the Smiths, Britpop and beyond. Costumes from David Bowie, Adam Ant, the Spice Girls and others are on permanent display.

Interactive booths let you try playing in a band, learn dance moves from each decade, and listen to landmark tracks at listening stations. Allow two to three hours; ticketed entry. A natural pairing with the Beatles Story, a short walk south along the waterfront.
