Located in the Paseo La Plaza complex, this museum claims
to be the only Beatles museum in South America. It showcases the Beatles memorabilia
collection of owner Rodolfo R Veasquez - expect plenty of records, collector plates, toys,
figurines, eight-track tapes, games and a couple of guitars from musicians related to the
group. There's even a brick from the Cavern Club, a music club (now demolished) where
the Beatles got their start. To find the museum, follow 'The Cavern' signs.
