Vazquez joined everything that was in Buenos Aires on the most famous rock band in history, such as disks or cuts of interviews. This obsession that grew with time 10 years ago resulted in the inclusion of Argentina in the Guinness Book as the largest private collector of The Beatles. From there, he shaped what is now a reality with the creation of the museum.
The Beatles Museum which opened this month in the tourist Avenida Corrientes has two thousand 200 pieces of more than eight thousand 500, bringing together and remember the life and work of the musicians. There are other museums on the British group, such as Liverpool and Hamburg, with relevant pieces from musicians, but Buenos Aires is the first in Latin America.
In the windows and walls of the small local objects are packed for everyone: a box of condoms with names of John Lennon and his second wife, Yoko Ono, one of the “authentic Beatle wigs ‘adapting’ to any size Head “sold in the U.S. and autographed photos of the four musicians.
Many of the items were traded for Vazquez. Other Argentine collector purchased by some of his trips abroad, but all show the fervor that still arouses the band from Liverpool.
