Members' Access | Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm

February 18, 2026 - March 22, 2026

Join us for exclusive Members’ Access to mark the opening of Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm.  

This extended Members’ Access  for this highly anticipated exhibition will begin on Feb 18 for AGO Members at the Admirer/Individual level and up. 

Annual Passholders early access to this exhibition will begin on Feb 27, before opening to the general public on Mar 24, 2026.  

Organized by the National Portrait Gallery in London, from Paul McCartney’s personal archive, comes more than 250 photographs of this incredible moment in time. A behind-the-scenes look at the meteoric rise of one of the world’s most celebrated bands, these images reveal Paul McCartney as a multifaceted artist.  

These intimate and historic photographs, shown alongside video clips and archival materials, capture both the intensity of The Beatles touring schedule and the energy of the era, as well more intimate views of his bandmates John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.

Members always see it first! Simply show your digital membership card to enter the gallery and at the exhibition entrance to see the show.
