BEATLES MANIA STRIKES MELBOURNE
BEATLES mania will again erupt in Australia, 55 years after the iconic band’s only tour Down Under.
Unique Beatles memorabilia, including John Lennon’s famous reading glasses, will be on display in Melbourne for four months.
The exhibition will be held at Melbourne Museum, which is less than 3km away from Festival Hall – the venue for the Beatles’ Victorian shows in 1964. The Revolutions: Records and Rebels exhibition promises an immersive ride through the late 1960s.
While the exhibition isn’t just restricted to the Fab Four, it comes with a heavy Beatles flavour. As well as getting a chance to glimpse the master songwriter’s glasses, museum goers will see Lennon’s famous Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band suit and handwritten lyrics.
The exhibition opens on April 27.
