The Beatles’ Members Posing With Their Waxwork Figures at Madame Tussauds London, 1964

On April 29, 1964, The Beatles visit Madame Tussaud’s wax museum in London to see their models, which had been unveiled to the public on March 28. They were the first pop group to appear in the museum.

In 1967, the museum lent the wax figures to artists Peter Blake and Jann Haworth to be used on the cover of The Beatles’ album Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Three of the heads – John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr – used for the cover were rediscovered in 2005 after being lost for nearly two decades, and were auctioned for £81,500.
