The Egri Road Beatles Múzeum is a museum in downtown Eger, Hungary. It is dedicated to the former British pop group The Beatles.
History
[edit]
The museum was opened on 15 May 2015 by János Bródy (born 1946), a Hungarian Kossuth Prize winner (2000) and singer-songwriter. It is situated in the basement of the Korona Hotel.[1]
Egri Road in the name of the museum is chosen for the resemblance with Abbey Road in London, as well a name giver for the Abbey Road Studios of The Beatles and their album Abbey Road.[1]
Collection
[edit]The collection was brought together by Gábor Peterdi and Gábor Molnár. Peterdi inserted the photo collection of Dezo Hoffmann (1912-1986). He was a Czechoslovak (Slovak) photographer who captured many artists on film in the sixties, like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Marilyn Monroe and others. Molnár is a writer of the book Immortal on The Beatles and inserted an extensive record collection and many memorabilia from the sixties.[1]
The musical history of the band is being presented through presentation boards, and audio and visual material. Next to them, the collection consists of various books, publications, photographs, guitars, a drum kit and other memorabilia.[2][3] There is also a brick of the Cavern Club which was bought on an auction in 1983 when this Liverpools club had been pulled down.[1]
