Egri Road Beatles Múzeum, Music museum in Eger, Hungary.
The Egri Road Beatles Múzeum occupies the basement of the Korona Hotel in downtown Eger, where about two thousand objects are arranged in chronological order along multimedia walls. A short film opens the visit, then push-button screens and headphones play newsreels, interviews and concert footage. Display cases hold period press, clothing, models and limited editions, alongside a brick from the Cavern Club.
The museum opened on 15 May 2015 in the basement of the Korona Hotel, inaugurated by singer-songwriter János Bródy. Its collection was assembled by Gábor Peterdi and Gábor Molnár, who gathered records, memorabilia and Dezo Hoffmann's 1960s photographs. In 2019 John Lennon's first band, The Quarrymen, visited and unveiled a signed Lennon portrait.
The name Egri Road echoes Abbey Road in London, the street of the Beatles' studios and album. The museum opened on 15 May 2015 with a ceremony led by singer-songwriter János Bródy, a Kossuth Prize winner. On 11 May 2019, John Lennon's first band, The Quarrymen, visited on the museum's fourth birthday and unveiled a portrait bearing Lennon's original signature.
Access is through the hotel, and visitors can explore the collection independently or with guided tours that provide detailed information about the exhibits. The compact size allows visitors to see everything in under an hour, making it convenient for a quick stop while exploring the city.
The museum houses an original brick from the demolished Cavern Club in Liverpool, a rare remnant of the legendary venue where the group performed their early shows. This object directly connects the Hungarian exhibition space to British music history.
