The exhibition will open on June 28 and run until October 1, 2023
The National Portrait Gallery in London will open its doors again in June for a special exhibition of photographs by Sir Paul McCartney.
The exhibition “Paul McCartney, Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm” compose photographs of the Beatles, which have never been shown to the public and which Paul McCartney thought were lost. The former member of the legendary band contacted the management of the National Portrait Gallery when he rediscovered the photos.
Sir Paul approached us in I think 2020 and said he had found these images that he had captured with his camera lens that he remembered but thought were lost, National Portrait Gallery director Dr Nicholas Callinan explained.

The photographs are from December 1963 – February 1964, when The Beatles first rose to fame in Liverpool and Britain, to their performance on The Ed Sullivan Show to millions of viewers and their development into a global phenomenon.
At a time when so many cameras were focused on the band, it is Paul McCartney who tells the truest story of the Beatles, says the exhibition description.
Dr. Nicholas Callinan said, according to a report in The Independent newspaper, that he called the exhibition “very interesting” and called the photographs “excellent”.
“We sat down with Sir Paul McCartney and started going through the pictures and they’re really great. As well as the fact that the photographer was someone who was actually, as the title of the exhibition suggests, in the eye of the cyclone, looking out at what was happening,” he added.
The Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm exhibition will open on June 28 and run until October 1, 2023.
