Psychedelic Limo Used by the Beatles Ushers in Victoria Museum Exhibit
- The Royal BC Museum displays John Lennon’s 1965 psychedelic Phantom V Rolls-Royce limousine from May 30 until mid-January 2026 in Victoria.
- The Beatles used this touring limousine to drive to Buckingham Palace in 1965 to receive medals from the Queen, and Lennon had it repainted in 1967.
- Artist Steve Weaver painted the car with psychedelic and Romany designs using latex house paint, which the museum now carefully conserves due to its fragility.
- The 3,000-kilogram limousine, presented to the museum in 1987 after its showcase at Expo '86 in Vancouver, was a gift from Jim Pattison and is still fully functional today.
- The car’s display aligns with the opening on May 30 of the Royal BC Museum’s new exhibition that showcases the impact of music on social and political movements.
