HAMBURG, Germany—In their early days, the Beatles played a rundown strip club here and honed their performing skills before breaking through in Europe and later the United States. Now a museum dedicated to the group has opened 49 years after they first took the stage at the Indra club. The museum, called Beatlemania, contains five floors of artifacts and interactive exhibits and is in the same seedy Reeperbahn area where the band played on five separate occasions between 1960 and 1962.
