Saturday, February 28, 2026 – Sunday, June 7, 2026
3:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Art Gallery of Ontario
The Art Gallery of Ontario is opening what might be its most talked-about exhibition of 2026: Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm, featuring more than 250 photographs from McCartney's personal archive.
What You'll See
These aren't professionally staged publicity shots. They're candid photographs taken by McCartney himself during the dizzying months when the Beatles went from a Liverpool band to a global phenomenon. The images capture the quiet moments between the chaos.
Why It Matters
McCartney rediscovered these photographs in 2020, and they hadn't been seen by anyone in nearly six decades. As a visual document of one of the most significant cultural moments of the 20th century, shot by one of its central figures, the collection is genuinely unique.
Visiting
Free with general admission to the AGO. Admission is always free for Ontarians under 25, Indigenous Peoples, and AGO Members. The gallery is at 317 Dundas St W, steps from St. Patrick Station.
