Last week, Buenos Aires became the first city in Latin America to have its own Beatles Museum. The place is a permanent tribute from a great fan and collector that everyone can enjoy now. It’s located just a few blocks away from our Hostel Colonial, on the theater complex Paseo La Plaza (1660 Corrientes Avenue) and owns an interesting selection of Beatle memorabilia.Since January 3rd, next to The Cavern pub –which replicates in Buenos Aires the aesthetics and spirit of the pub where The Beatles born in Liverpool-, the collection of Rodolfo Vázquez surprises its visitors. There, you can find everything about one of the greatest bands of all times: original records, customs, autographs, pictures, figurines and all you can and can’t imagine to remember The Beatles.
“It’s the only Beatles museum whose catalog belongs to a private collector. It’s actually the only Beatles Museum in the world apart from The Beatles Story in Liverpool”, says Vázquez, owner of around 8.500 objects which will alternate in the exhibition during 2011. You can find rarities as checks signed by the famous musicians or a condom box with the image of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.The ticket costs 10 Argentine pesos (2.5 American dollars): a bargain to enjoy this new space which tributes the Fab Four. A ticket to the Beatlemania that spread round the world in the 60’s and 70’s and the magic of the music which accompanied millions of people in their everyday life and still does.
