DID YOU KNOW?  Beatles legend Paul McCartney’s photography exhibit, “Paul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the Storm,” made the second stop on its global world tour and its U.S. debut at the Chrysler from December 2023 through early April. The exhibition of about 250 photos taken by McCartney during the height of Beatlemania attracted about 60,000 visitors to the museum, some from as far as California. The next stops for “Eyes of the Storm” are New York’s Brooklyn Museum, then Tokyo and Portland, Oregon.
