John Lennon and Yoko OnoRead more


As important now as it was in 1969, rekindle the spirit of John Lennon & Yoko Ono’s most powerful gesture towards increasing love and compassion in the world – their Bed-In for peace, and the birth of the anthem “Give Peace a Chance”. This exhibition gives you a seat on the edge of John and Yoko’s bed at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, through unique stories and photographs – many never before seen in the UK. The exhibition which runs until Monday 3rd May follows on from January's Martin Luther King exhibition.
