More than 250 photographs and video clips from Paul McCartney's personal archive are now on display at the Portland Art Museum through January.
🤩 Zoom in: They feature an inside look at The Beatles' meteoric rise during a three-month period between late-1963 into early 1964, when the band turned from a British sensation into international celebrities.
- The photos paint an intimate portrait of members John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr during a pivotal moment in their lives — all through McCartney's lens.
What he's saying: "Looking at these photos now, decades after they were taken, I find there's a sort of innocence about them," McCartney said in a press release. "Everything was new to us at this point."
🖼️ If you go: Included with general admission to the Portland Art Museum ($22-25). Open Wednesday through Sunday, 10am to 5pm.
- The exhibit, "Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm," runs through Jan. 19, 2025.
