beatles to bowie the 60s exposed

Awash with smart suits and ridiculous hairdos, this exhibition maps the ebbs and flows of pop celebrity during the halcyon days of ‘swinging London’ in the 1960s.

Unsurprisingly, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones feature prominently, and its fascinating to follow the different ways they were styled; from fresh-faced choirboys at the start of the decade, to long-haired, free love gurus at its end. You can almost smell the incense.
