Buenos Aires Beatles Museum

January third sees the opening of America’s first Beatles museum. Guinness record holding Beatles collector Rodolfo Vazquez puts part of his 8500 items collection on permanent display in the museum. The museum will be located in the cultural complex The Plaza, in downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina. A nearby movie theatre will be renamed to the John Lennon cinema, and the complex also houses a replica Cavern Club, also owned by Vazquez. Among the items Vazquez has been collecting are photos and records, clothing, checks signed by members of the Beatles and even a box of condoms with the image of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
