The Beatles Story Museum is taking “The Long and Winding Road” from Liverpool to…another part of Liverpool.

Officials from the Beatles Story announced it is moving from its current location on the city’s Royal Albert Dock, where it’s been housed since 1990, to the heart of the city in St. John’s Market, a much larger venue at 100,000 square feet. The new attraction is scheduled to open in 2028 and ownership will be transferred to Apple Corps, the official company of all things Beatles.

A separate themed attraction based on the band’s whimsical Yellow Submarine animated film will be housed next door to the new museum in the 400-foot St Johns Beacon tower.

The new museum will feature immersive technology, original artefacts and recreated sets charting the band’s rise from post-war Liverpool, to their time in Germany, to their immense international fame. Recreated settings will include Abbey Road, Shea Stadium and the group’s Savile Row headquarters, where the Beatles last performed as a band in a rooftop concert in 1969.

Also featured will be sets and props donated by director Sam Mendes, who is currently filming a four-part biopic of each member of The Beatles. The items will be handed over to the museum once filming wraps. The Beatles: A Four-Film Cinematic Event is also scheduled to open in theaters in April of 2028. In the films, Paul Mescal will play McCartney, Joseph Quinn will portray George Harrison, Barry Keoghan will play Ringo Starr and Harris Dickinson will portray John Lennon.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, the two surviving members of the Fab Four, are both chuffed at the news, according to their official statements.

McCartney’s statement reads, “I find it incredible and humbling that people are still interested in our story and it’s very exciting to me that the Beatles Story and the Beacon are being transformed in such an exciting way in the heart of Liverpool city. I love Liverpool. It’s part of who I am, it’s part of who the Beatles are. If you’d told us this was going to happen when we were hanging out and getting started, we’d never have believed it.”

Ringo Starr said, “It is great to be part of this – deep down I am still a scouser (a slang term for a Liverpudlian). Liverpool was, and still is, a music city. And now we are expanding the Beatles Story … how far out. The beat goes on.”

Some funds from the new museum will go to a new charity founded by Apple Corps, called the Apple Corps Liverpool Trust, which will fund initiatives benefiting local musicians.

Apple Corps’ chief executive Tom Greene compared the plans with that of other attractions based around famous musicians, like Elvis Presley’s Graceland in Memphis or Dolly Parton’s Dollywood in Tennessee, calling the new museum, “A world-class destination for fans to visit in the center of the city where the story started.”
