The exhibition features the largest public display of McCartney archive items and traces Wings’ role in his post-Beatles reinvention.

  • On Friday, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame opened "Paul McCartney and Wings" in Cleveland, marking the first major museum exhibition exploring the musician's post-Beatles reinvention and family life.
  • Senior Director of Museum and Archival Collections Andy Leach described the band's embrace of domestic life as "remarkable and unusual," noting Wings was built around "reinvention, renewal, risk-taking, experimentation, but collaboration."
  • The exhibition features the largest collection of McCartney's personal archives ever publicly shown, with about 75% of artifacts from his collection, including handwritten lyrics and a blue Gibson Firebird guitar.
  • Hardcore fans can attend a special opening party on Saturday, May 16, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., featuring a Q&A and performance by former Wings members Steve Holley and Laurence Juber.
  • The Hall of Fame plans to keep the exhibit open through the summer of 2027, aiming to provide fans with a new understanding of how important Wings musicians were.
