The Beat Goes Online
The Beat Goes On exhibition is at World Museum Liverpool from 12 July 2008 to 1 November 2009.
The Beat Goes Online was produced by the Institute of Popular Music and supported by the University of Liverpool, National Museums Liverpool, the Arts and Humanities Research Council and English Heritage.
Welcome to The Beat Goes Online, an online resource that supports and expands on the themes from The Beat Goes On exhibition.
Inspired by Liverpool’s significant contribution to popular music, The Beat Goes On showcases Merseyside’s vibrant music scenes that have played a major part in the city’s life over the past 60 years.
In The Beat Goes Online you can explore the topics from the exhibition in more depth. This online resource offers a broader perspective, relating the exhibition themes to issues and debates concerning popular music more generally.
We hope to get you thinking about popular music in different ways. For example, find out what connects the alternative, underground rock scenes of Liverpool and the Iranian capital, Tehran. Or consider the role of photographers in the making of pop stars.
