About this audio guide
This guide to the British Music Experience in Liverpool looks past the guitars and stage outfits to the Cunard Building that holds them, raised by the Cunard Line during the First World War. It follows the concrete and Portland stone, the marble shipped in from Italy and Greece, and the passengers of three classes who once waited on this floor. Start by the marble columns in the entrance foyer.
