Ringo Starr is to get his own exhibition. On 12 June, the Grammy Museum will open its doors to “Ringo: Peace And Love”, “the first major exhibition to explore the life of Ringo Starr”.

Ringo’s exhibition will feature drum kits he played on at Shea Stadium and The Ed Sullivan Show, and his iconic Sgt Pepper suit. It will also include the cape he wore in Help and the red jacket he donned during The Beatles’ final performance on the Apple rooftop, along with personal and unpublished photographs and artifacts.
‘Ringo: Peace and Love’ will incorporate an interactive component where visitors can take a virtual drum lesson from the famous sticksman.
The exhibition aims to promote Starr, a seven-time Grammy winner’s message of peace and love.
Paul McCartney remains the only Beatle not to be honoured with a dedicated Grammy Museum exhibition.
Museum admission is $12.95 for adults; $11.95 for senior citizens (65+); and $10.95 for students with I.D. (ages 6 – 22) and members of the military. GRAMMY Museum members and children 5 and under are admitted free. Located at 800 West Olympic Boulevard, Suite A245, Los Angeles, CA 90015
The exhibition is on until November 2013, when it will then tour select cities, yet to be announced.
