Paul McCartney’s personal photos of Beatlemania bound for AGO in 2026 Back to video
The exhibit includes video clips, archival materials and more than 250 photographs offering a behind-the-scenes look at the meteoric rise of the Beatles.
The AGO says that includes “more intimate views” of bandmates John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as fanaticism over the U.K. band gripped North America.
The exhibit was organized by London’s National Portrait Gallery, in collaboration with McCartney.
AGO special projects curator Jim Shedden says McCartney photos reveal “extraordinary creative intuition.”
“These images are alive with excitement and capture a moment in time when McCartney stood at the centre of a global storm,” Shedden said Friday in a release.
