We really enjoyed this place. A fascinating walk through music history, the interactive stuff is great and there are real instruments and a vocal booth that are great fun. On a cold and wet December day, it was perfect. Highly recommend.
I loved visiting this place and will be back to spend more time here as you can come back again free of charge having paid today’s entry fee. What really impressed me was that the staff were so genuinely warm, friendly and welcoming . They were so enthusiastic and had lots of interesting things to say about the exhibits and previous experiences. Paul in particular was fascinating as he had met many of the stars having worked as a DJ on the famous QE2 ship. For older folk like me many wonderful memories will be triggered as as you look at the themed displays, What’s particularly great is that you get to play with various guitars , drums and record your self singing in a sound booth. It’s great fun As you enter there is a very realistic image of boy George singing……wow ! I love the building. You can imagine people waiting to board the luxury liners there. There are various thematic displays that change throughout the year and so it’s well worth coming back. I highly recommend visiting here.
Excellent music based museum. Interactive exhibits, videos, real instruments to try, great tour guides and wall to wall music. Recommended for a two to three hour perusal.
I was born in 1955 and this journey through British pop music starts a little earlier with skiffle and goes all the way through each era to the present day. I found this a fascinating journey bringing back a wealth of memories. I also noticed the interest in our pop history from both younger people as well as foreign visitors. Two hours plus well spent
Absolutely amazing place – fascinating history, great visuals + dancing and music! Great welcome too and your admission ticket lasts for a year. If you are lucky enough to live locally, this is a tremendous bargain. There's a lot clamouring for a music fan's attention in this great city but I'd strongly advise you to put this place to the very top of your bucket list. Loved it.
Popped in here after a trip on the Ferry on Saturday. Great place to have a walk around and have a look at all the pop memorabilia. Really knowledgeable staff too who told me and my friend stories of some of the posters and musical instruments etc. My only little criticism is the price which was £16 per person and we were only in there for about 45 mins. Wouldn't take my kids as there isn't much to keep them occupied in there.
Love seeing the music history but I can't lie I was expecting a little more considering it was £18 a person. Its essentially one big room with a "stage" in the middle and different decades branching off from that. Honestly even if you look at absolutely everything it might take 30-45 minutes max. That being said I did enjoy looking at all the memorabilia and learning about the history of some great British bands, just wish it was a bit bigger. Though it is nice your ticket is valid for a year, don't know if that is location dependent or across multiple location but it's nice nevertheless Edit: This is really hard place to review due to the price/content value. I’ve upped to a 4 star because of the fact you can come back as many times as you’d like, within a year. My overall opinions haven’t changed however. I would like to add though, because recognition is deserved, the staff were excellent, kind and knowledgable.
Wow. A fantastically rich, vibrant and educational trip through music. The interactive music section was engaging and the live exhibitions are amazing. Entry fee gives you 12 months unlimited return. Mind boggling!
