Create an itinerary including Het Beatles Museum
Meet John, Paul, George, and Ringo at Het Beatles Museum, dedicated to probably the most popular band of the 20th century. Arguably the largest collection of Beatles items collected by a single person, the museum displays original band member clothing, albums, instruments, personal documents, toys, books, and comic books inspired by the four iconic musicians. Although the band never visited or played in this town, the local collector and die-hard fan Azing Moltmaker managed to compile a big collection of all things Beatles. The onsite store sells all kinds of Beatles merchandise, from books to bootleg CDs.

  • Largest Beatles Museum in the world. Owner has authored 85 books on The Beatles. Thousands of Beatles memorabilia. Original recording machine from Abbey Road Studio. €15 entrance fee. Short train ride from Amsterdam. Closed Monday. Well worth it to go and see.
  • Fantastic place, the owner is very nice and passionate about the Beatles, you can really see this is a labor of love. Features a lot of very obscure memorabilia and releases of Beatles albums that are very interesting to look at. I very much recommend it!
  • Brilliant experience. The owner Azing really knows his music.
  • Waw guys that was really a beautiful experience. The museum is big and there are so many rare things to see. Just think that only one collector did everything himself. Azing the founder of the museum is a surprising person, source of many news on the Beatles. You could be inspired by him. I really recommend to go, take a trip to the museum, it's amazing! and you have there a super nice souvenir shop as well.
  • Stumbled upon this museum during a trip to Alkmaar. Massive collection of Beatles memorabilia and information. Run by a Beatles fan and his wife who were happy to chat about all things related to the Beatles. They have lots of books (many written by the owner himself), records and souvenirs for sale and I manged to buy a book I had been looking for for years, although I think the owners run the museum primarily out of a love of the Beatles rather than to make money. They also have a smaller Elvis museum and a small boat exhibition on the site. Well worth making the trip to Alkmaar for.
