The Museum of Music
A virtual museum where every exhibit tells the true story behind music's most famous objects. Step inside for a guided tour of three Beatles artifacts, the history behind them, and the auction records they set.
Each room of the exhibition holds one object. Here are the gallery labels.
Played on The Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, watched by about 73 million people. The logo was sketched on a scrap of paper in a London drum shop and painted by hand for about $14.
Stage clothes for a band that didn't exist. The Beatles invented Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band after they stopped touring, and some of the medals pinned to these jackets are real.
A policeman held the traffic for about ten minutes while photographer Iain Macmillan stood on a stepladder and took six frames. It's the one Beatles artifact the public can still walk across.
The curator is preparing the next opening. Here's a peek at what's going behind the glass.

The Museum of Music is a fictional museum. Please don't look for us on a map (you'll end up in a cornfield). The objects shown are digital recreations, not the real items, but every story, fact, and auction price is real.
