Peace & Love at the Grammy Museum

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 at Shea Stadium
  • The drum kit he played on the Ed Sullivan show
  • Ringo’s Sgt Pepper suit
  • The cape he wore in Help!
  • 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 through November 2013, after which the
exhibit will tour to select cities to be announced soon.
