Recently opened at London’s National Portrait Gallery, ‘Beatles to Bowie: The 60s Exposed’ hosts more than 150 photographs of the 1960s era, 100 of which have never before been shown to the public. The photographic works are showcased chronologically, showcasing how the fashions and
sounds developed, and featuring rare photos of musical and iconic wonders such as The Beatles, The Kinks, Jimi Hendrex and Lulu, to mention a few, during their rise to fame. The Beatles to Bowie explores the evolution of popular music and culture from pop, through psychedelia and into the introduction of progressive music. The 1960s were a generation that shaped
the music industry into what we hear today, and this exhibition shows us the changes in a truly interesting and innovative way.
