Finding exhibits for an Abbey Road notable relic will not be easy

Richard Morrison: research & , : {}

The main plea in environment up a possibly Beatles Museum at the Abbey Road studios will be wresting sufficient inestimable Beatles artefacts from their benefaction owners. Liverpool, understandably, has formed the complete traveller industry around the Fab Four and their early haunts. It wouldnt be easy to convince the city that plush St Johns Wood needs Beatles memorabilia some-more than it does. Many alternative instruments, strange manuscripts and garments compared with the Beatles are in in isolation collections or museums already.

Other evocative artefacts are in the British Music Experience set up by Harvey Goldsmith at the O2 Arena last year. That brilliantly displayed permanent exhibition, that cost �9.5 million to assemble, would suggest extreme foe to any new Abbey Road notable relic and has the value of being sited in Europes majority renouned stone arena.

Abbey Road, however, has successfully run open tours and hold festivals of repository drive-in theatre in the past. And the connectors with the complete story of 20th-century British music, not only renouned but classical, have it an overwhelming magnet for music-lovers.

The cost of formulating a notable relic there? About �10 million for the construction and rounded off the same to batch it with element and all the interactive bells and whistles approaching of 21st-century museums. But maybe what it majority needs is a stipulation from Boris Johnson, the London Mayor, that the zebra channel in front will be recorded in perpetuity.
