Ringo’s Peace & Love Exhibit – Los Angeles

 

The GRAMMY Museum, in cooperation with Ringo Starr, will debut a major new exhibition, Ringo: Peace & Love opening on June 12, 2013. This one-of-a-kind, limited-run exhibit will offer visitors an unprecedented in-depth look at all aspects of Starr's musical and creative life - as a musician, artist, actor, and as the man the world knows and loves simply as 'Ringo.' It will also aim to propel Starr's universal message of peace and love.

Ringo: Peace & Love is both the first major exhibit ever dedicated to a drummer and the first to explore the extraordinary career of the 7-time GRAMMY Award® winner. The scope of exhibit spans Ringo's early life growing up in Liverpool, from Raving Texans turned Rory Storm, from The Beatles, to becoming a solo artist and then to the All Starrs with whom he is on tour now - this unique collection brings together diverse artifacts, rare and never before seen photographs, documents, personal letters and footage.
Ringo: Peace & Love will be located on the second floor and will include:

• The drum kit Ringo played on Let It Be, Abbey Road, and The White Album
• The drum kit he played on The Ed Sullivan Show
• Ringo's Sgt Pepper Suit
• The red jacket worn during the filming of The Beatles' rooftop concert
• Personal letters, photographs and documents from the Starkey family and Ringo's days with The Beatles

It will also be an interactive exhibit, where visitors can take a drum lesson with Ringo.
Ringo: Peace & Love will be on display in The GRAMMY Museum's Special Exhibits Gallery.
