Our Story

 

Penny Lane Beatles Museum is the creation of long-time Dunedin resident and humanitarian, Dr. Robert Entel, who founded the museum in January 2017. This must-see 501(c)(3) nonprofit museum collection is located at 730 Broadway, 2nd Floor, at Stirling Commons in downtown Dunedin. 

Penny Lane contains many extremely rare and highly collectible mementos from signed guitars to strands of the Beatles hair…from Yellow Submarine paraphernalia to Beatles puppets and pins…from many signed documents to a serape once owned by Ringo Starr. The museum was co-founded by Colin Bissett who grew up in Liverpool and went to school with Pete Best’s brother (Beatles first drummer). He attended many performances at the Cavern Club and Casbah in the early sixties before they became a worldwide phenomenon known as The Beatles.

The collection is one of the largest and most eclectic in the world and attracts visitors from all over Tampa Bay, the state of Florida, throughout the country, and around the world.
