A new Beatles museum packed with memorabilia is opening in a former Victorian warehouse in Liverpool this summer.
Created by Roag Best, brother of 'fifth Beatle' Pete, it will tell the story of band's history through 300 items from his personal collection.

"We will be taking people on a journey though the Beatles' career but unlike any other museum before it, every part of the journey will be accompanied with memorabilia.
"Many things they will never have seen before, others they will have seen back in the day but not for many years."
Objects include George Harrison's Futurama guitar, John Lennon's Sergeant Pepper medals, the cello from I Am The Walrus and Pete Best's Premier drum kit.Roag has around 1,200 items of Beatles memorabilia in his personal collection, which he keeps in storage units.
As well as buying them himself, he was given many objects by his, and Pete's mother - and by his father, Beatles roadie and later head of Apple Corps Neil Aspinall.
He said: "I've been collecting forever and I've always made a point of finding rare items.
"Despite being over five floors, the museum will fit 300 items at any one time so the collection will be on rotation.
Magical History Museum will take up five floors of the building - at number 23 Mathew Street, next to the Grapes pub - which has been completely gutted and refurbished.

Meanwhile Paul McCartney has confirmed that work continued on the Beatles' 50th anniversary reissue of the White Album while he prepared Egypt Station.
The White album was released in England the 22nd November 1968. At the end of May, 1968 the Beatles meet up at Kinfauns, George Harrison's bungalow in Esher. Just back from India, gearing up to go hit Abbey Road and start their next album, the lads bang out some rough acoustic tunes into George's newfangled Ampex reel-to-reel tape deck.
"It's all in place," McCartney confirmed in a new talk with DIY. "I've just got a couple of essays [to approve]. It's all lined up and it's really good."
Producer Giles Martin last summer was the first who mentioned plans to reissue the band's 1968 self-titled AKA as White Album. Recently Ringo Starr‘s copy of The Beatles‘ self-titled 1968 album has been confirmed to be the most expensive vinyl record ever sold. Meanwhile McCartney Carpool K. Sends Beatles Back up the Charts
