The exhibition opens on April 27, 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 4 months.
The
exhibition will be held at Melbourne Museum, which is less than 3
kilometres away from Festival Hall - the venue for the Beatles'
Victorian shows in 1964.
As
well as getting a chance to glimpse the master songwriter's glasses,
museum goers will see John Lennon's famous Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club
Band suit and handwritten lyrics.
Exhibition co-curator Victoria Broackes said the display wasn't "conceived as a trip down memory lane.Looking back 50 years since the events framed in the exhibition took place reveals the importance of that revolutionary period to our lives today, Amidst political turmoil, many of the freedoms so hard won in the 60s are being challenged anew across the Western world (and beyond), so it is timely to look back at this period."she said.
