Today on Arts Alive! the discussion is all about the newly-opened Penny Lane Beatles Museum in downtown St. Petersburg. We\u2019re in the studio with founder Dr. Robert Entel, whose personal memorabilia collection fills the 2,100-square-foot former storefront at 146 2nd Street N., and Executive Director Craig Bachner.<\/p>\n

After 10 years in Dunedin, inside a 500-square-foot upstairs space, the museum was relocated to St. Petersburg for two reasons: One, the place is four times as big (and, Entel explains, there\u2019s still not enough room for everything in his collection); and two, it\u2019s St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n

And that means not only the potential for more visitors, but Penny Lane is now in the vaunted company of the Dali, the James, the MFA and the other top-shelf downtown museums.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all, both men say, in the service of all that great music, and one of the most colorful and unusual stories in all of pop culture. Visit the website<\/a> to learn more about what goes on.<\/p>\n

Sunday (Nov. 1), and again Nov. 4 and 8, the Penny Lane Beatles Museum\u2019s regular admission fee will be waived between 10 a.m. (opening time) and noon. This is part of the Creative Pinellas \u201cArt Everywhere\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n

And they do appreciate you being \u2018round.<\/p>\n
