Figures depicting The Beatles are exhibited at The Cavern club and new Beatles Museum in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The idea is to show my collection permanently. In a year I would like to rotate the items on display with others from my collection," Vazquez said. "Otherwise all of it would be closed into boxes and trunks without anyone being able to enjoy them."![argentinabeatles5]()
The Beatles never performed in Argentina, but people here seem to have a soft spot for them, ensuring that cover bands have regular gigs. Many such bands play in Vazquez's "The Cavern Club," a bar next to the museum named after the Liverpool nightclub where the band got its start.![argentinabeatles3]()
There's also a hunk of the stage of Hamburg's Star Club, a strip club where the musicians worked as the house band, at that point with Pete Best as drummer. A pair of drumsticks signed by Best, who was replaced by Ringo Star in 1962, is in the Buenos Aires museum.![argentinabeatles7]()
