1969 Bed-In Exhibition — Lennon & Ono Peace Artifacts

9 October 2019

A museum display case holds the original 'Bed Peace' and 'Hair Peace' posters from John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1969 Amsterdam bed-in — yellow cards with hand-lettered text, framed behind glass alongside archival prints and documents. On the wall to the left, a large-format photograph of Lennon and Ono anchors the section, the year '1969' printed large overhead. The artifacts are small objects that carried outsized weight: a hotel room turned into a press conference, a protest staged in bed.
