From the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, “’Paul McCartney and Wings’ is our first major museum exhibit to explore the story of Paul McCartney and Wings – a defining force in 1970s rock that bridged the gap between the end of The Beatles and the rise of a new era in popular music.”
“Comprised of the most extensive collection of items from McCartney’s personal archives to be made accessible to the public as well as donations from band members and associates, “Paul McCartney and Wings” will trace the arc of Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles reinvention – from his self-titled 1970 debut album through the formation of Wings to the band’s dissolution in 1981.
The exhibition will feature numerous never-before-displayed artifacts, including instruments played in Wings’ recording sessions and in concert performances, clothing worn by the band, handwritten lyrics, original artwork, tour memorabilia, and previously unseen photography – presented within an immersive experience incorporating archival video, audio and images.”
Other exhibits on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame include Cher, Heart, Bruce Springsteen, James Brown, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Dolly Parton, Missy Elliot, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, and Run DMC.
