Archaeological Museum, Old Montreal, Beatles Exhibition
11     A Coral Sitar, an instrument produced from 1967 to 1969.
       John and George were given two of the first Coral Sitars
       made by Danelectro in 1967. No one knows though,
       whether George used this electric sitar-guitar on any of
       the group's recordings. The one displayed here is identical
       to those owned by John and George — and dates from
       the same era.
       Jean-Louis Vaillancourt Collection[1]

12     This 1974 guitar is an exact replica of the extremely rare
       1968 Fender VI bass guitar that George and John had
       started using when Paul played piano or guitar. The strings
       were tuned an octave below a regular guitars.

    "​The Beatles in Montréal is an exhibition on the Montréal stopover of this legendary British group that revolutionized pop music around the world, and that also had a profound influence on musical trends that took root right here in Montréal and throughout Québec. ",
    "Designed as an exhibition-experience, The Beatles in Montréal uses this musical event as a starting point for an examination of Montréal history and the emergence of “yéyé” music in 1960s Québec.",
    "September 8, 1964 at the Forum / Upon entering the exhibition room, visitors are immersed into the effervescent atmosphere of the era through recordings showing John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr—the four idols—in action on giant screens. The exhibition takes a look at the quartet’s only appearance in Montréal, a stopover lasting less than 12 hours. The Beatles performed just two shows at the Montréal Forum on St. Catherine Street on September 8, 1964, at 4 pm and 8:30 pm; tickets cost $4.50 and $5.50. But what memorable shows! Exhibition visitors can relive The Beatles’ Montréal performance through a soundtrack to the show, on loan from Gilles Valiquette. Never-before-seen photos, some of which are from the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec’s Fonds Antoine Desilets and Fonds Jean-Louis Frund, will literally transport visitors to the show. ",
    "During its presentation from March 29, 2013 to March 30, 2014, 242 880 people visited this exhibition. / The Beatles in Montreal was produced by Pointe-à-Callière, the Montréal Museum of Archaeology and History, and presented by Rouge FM et Musimax. Pointe-à-Callière thanks the Royal BC Museum, partner of the exhibition and its sponsors: Aéroport de Montréal, Air Canada, InterContinental Hotel, La Vitrine culturelle, La Presse, and The Gazette. "
