A large model of a yellow submarine hung above the entrance. The museum spanned five floors and eleve themed rooms. The history of the Beatles from their Hamburg period to their break-up was displayed through a mixture of original exhibits, interactive features and fan memorabilia, as well as a reconstruction of the Große Freiheit street in 1960s style.
