The entrance of the museum has a yellow plastic submarine (Yellow Submarine song released in 1968). Actually, Beatles took its first steps on Reeperbahn street known as the “road of sin” in Germany. The founder of “Star” nightclub that hosted the world-famous starts of that period Horst Fascher says that the famous Beatles sound was born on this road of sin and explains:

“When they started to play in Star, the finally found the thing they feel is missing. They got the chance to listen and watch other famous musicians similar to their style. Thus, their music took its final form in Star Club”.
