LEARNING AT THE LIVERPOOL BEATLES MUSEUM
ABOUT OUR EDUCATION TEAM
The Liverpool Beatles Museum is housed in a large three storey former Victorian warehouse. It comprises over 300 primary and secondary source items of Beatles memorabilia that provide an invaluable resource for educators, and learners of all ages.
Manager and Beatles historian Paul Parry, is a personal friend of former Beatles drummer Pete Best and of the museum’s founder Roag Best. He has spent a career as a teacher in a range of schools and has a true understanding of how teaching and lesson planning works in practice and how best to support learning outside the classroom, college or university. In addition Paul has put his musical talents to work and created a song that champions children’s rights which has been adopted by the UNICEF charity. The Education Team at the museum has over 45 years of combined frontline educational experience and includes an in house consultant with a Master’s Degree in Education.
