British Music Experience

Advanced Booking Required

The British Music Experience tells the story of British Music through costumes, instruments, performance and memorabilia. Whatever age you are, and whatever you are into, there is something here for you.

We’ve got outfits worn by artists from Freddie Mercury and Dusty Springfield to Adam Ant, the Spice Girls and Mick Jagger and musical instruments played by some of the world’s most renowned artists from Queen’s Roger Taylor to the Sex Pistols and Ian Curtis. We even have handwritten song lyrics from Adele, the original statues from the Brits and the Apple Corp front door from Saville Row.

The Museum includes galleries, interactive zones, audio visual experiences and hologram performances. You can get hands-on in the Gibson Interactive Studio by learning to play guitar, drums or keyboards, dance your way through the eras in our Dance the Decades studio and sing your heart out in the Vocal Booth.

After the main event browse an exclusive range of gifts, clothing, books and memorabilia from the Merch Store and you can rest those dancing feet with a selection of delicious snacks and meals in the Star Café.

Join us to celebrate British music and its influence across the world.

The current temporary exhibition is Live Aid 40: Music, Power & Unity. The exhibition looks at the legendary Live Aid concert 40 years later through some of the personal archive of organiser Bob Geldof. The exhibition will run from 5 June 2025 to 4 January 2026 and is included with all general entry.
