The Beatles revolutionized the music industry and set this county on a new trajectory.

To celebrate the impact of the group, the The Magical History Tour: A Beatles Memorabilia Exhibition starts a U.S. tour at The Henry Ford from April 30 through Sept. 18.

The museum promotes it as the "most comprehensive Beatles exhibition ever assembled, featuring instruments, clothing, rare original photos and many never-before-displayed artifacts!"

The exhibition will follow the legendary Beatles from the very beginning, through Beatlemania, to the years of experimentation and dissent, and finally to their far-reaching inspiration today, the museum says.

The exhibit will include:

  • Instruments, equipment and other personal belongings, including the original Quarrymen drum kit.
  • Letters, memos and pivotal documentation of the Beatles’ career, including the official “break-up letter” typed by John to Paul's lawyer and signed by John, George and Ringo.
  • Rare photographs from the Beatles’ touring years, including many that have never before been seen.
  • A vast collection of Beatles merchandise and memorabilia, including the album signed by John Lennon to his eventual killer hours before his death.
