Annie Zaleski On a sunny St. Patrick’s Day visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, more than a few people dressed in green milled around outside the museum.

The “O” in the “Long Live Rock” sign on the museum plaza had an Eagles logo affixed to it, owing to that band’s show at the nearby Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse later that night.Inside the museum, however, there was no St.

Patrick’s Day revelry or Eagles spottings — just curators and employees putting the finishing touches on the much-anticipated “Get Back to Let It Be” exhibit. Opening to the public today, the exhibit is an extension of Peter Jackson’s epic-length 2021 documentary “The Beatles: Get Back.” Via film footage, select artifacts and clothing seen in the movie, photos from the “Let It Be” sessions and related ephemera such as handwritten lyrics, “Get Back to Let It Be” reinforces the joyful humanity of the Beatles during their last year as a band. “This is really historic for the Rock Hall,” says vice president and chief curator Nwaka Onwusa. “It’s not that we haven’t told the Beatles’ story; we’ve definitely done that and have celebrated these iconic figures.

But to have the ‘Let It Be’ story told in one breath and one story — all exclusively from the collection of the Beatles — is really special.”“Get Back to Let It Be” is anchored by three theater spaces screening footage from “Get Back’s” pivotal locations: Twickenham Film Studios, the Apple Corps basement and the infamous rooftop concert on the Apple Corps building.
