\n\tThe rooftop where the Beatles played a concert to a curious cast of freaked-out Londoners in 1969 will open as part of a museum next year.<\/p>\n
\n\tAs reported in the New York Times<\/em>, the sacred space at 3 Savile Row\u2014a townhouse on a street even more famous for its sophisticated tailors\u2014will be transformed by the Beatles\u2019 company Apple Corps into a seven-floor display of archival materials and exhibitions as well as a recreation of the studio where the band recorded its album Let It Be. <\/em>Access to the roof will be granted to visitors, to peer out from the place where the Beatles played a surprise show to an unwitting audience of Swinging London citizenry until police pulled the plug.<\/p>\n \n\tHolly Tessler, an expert in Beatles tourism at the University of Liverpool,\u00a0told the Times<\/em> that fans regularly congregate outside the building on the street. But \u201cvery few people have been inside,\u201d she said, adding: \u201cI\u2019d love to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tA press release on the Fab Four\u2019s website, which dates the opening only to \u201c2027,\u201d reads: \u201cSince its inception in 1968 Apple Corps Ltd. has overseen\u00a0The Beatles\u2019 creative and business interests and today\u2019s announcement completes a full circle moment as it returns to its most famous early headquarters.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tPaul McCartney said, \u201cIt was such a trip to get back to 3 Savile Row recently and have a look around. There are so many special memories within the walls, not to mention the rooftop. The team have put together some really impressive plans and I\u2019m excited for people to see it when it\u2019s ready.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tRingo Starr added: <\/em>\u201cWow, it\u2019s like coming home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/beatles-rooftop-museum-1234784977\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ER-0057-02.jpg?w=1024″] The rooftop where the Beatles played a concert to a curious cast of freaked-out Londoners in 1969 will open as part of a museum next year.
