Beatlemania Hamburg was a museum in Hamburg dedicated to the British rock band The Beatles .

It was conceived as an "experience exhibition" and was located at Nobistor 10 in the St. Pauli district . In the immediate vicinity are Beatles-Platz and Große Freiheit , in whose clubs the Beatles played in the early 1960s and thus laid a milestone in their later career.

The exhibition , with a Yellow Submarine on the facade above the entrance, opened on May 29, 2009. The museum extended over five floors with eleven different themed rooms. With original exhibits , interactive elements, fan devotional objects or the replica of the street Große Freiheit in the style of the 1960s, these were dedicated to the Beatles from their time in Hamburg until their dissolution.

The privately operated museum was closed on June 30, 2012 due to economic failure. Around 150,000 visitors had seen the exhibition by the time the closure was announced. The exhibits were returned to collectors and lenders.
