The actual entrance offers the visitor a first glance linked to the beginning of the band. On the right is a giant photograph of Nick Mason’s photo near the famous Bedford van. A luxury that the band gave itself in 1965 to reach the premises in which it would perform, transporting the instruments and the rudimentary amplification.
