The Look of (Beatles) LOVE

Fab Fourvian togs go on display at the Grammy Museum.

The stars may have turned out in Las Vegas for the fifth anniversary of "Beatles LOVE" -- Paul McCartney, Olivia and Dhani Harrison, Yoko Ono, and Sean Lennon also made for the Mirage on June 8 -- but the magical mystery tour has pulled into Los Angeles.

Nope, the Cirque stage show is staying put on the Strip, but costumes and props and other LOVE-cool stuffery has gone on display at the Grammy Museum to celebrate that half-decade marker. The exhibit won't run quite as long as "Beatles LOVE," but it'll be downtown for a good while. A good while here means through February 2012.

The show will feature "13 unique looks from the show never exhibited in a museum." We spied a picture of the Lucy dress and it is quite remarkable up close. There will also be a short documentary playing, instruments, and other objects of a walrus-wonderful, octopus-perfect variety.

If you've seen "Beatles LOVE," you likely recall attempting to look everywhere at once, not to miss a thing. Figure the Grammy Museum exhibit is a good way to look everywhere at once, or a lot of places, at least, and soak up the sartorial artistry from a close distance.

Which is pretty coo coo ca choo, when you think about it.

The Beatles LOVE: A Fifth Anniversary Cirque du Soleil Showcase debuted at the Grammy Museum on Wednesday, June 8 and will run through February 2012.
