The world never seems to run dry of John Lennon and Yoko Ono photos, especially the intimate ones. All part of John and Yoko's legendary call for Peace, a new photo exhibit at the Museum at Bethel Woods features Lennon and Ono in a collection titled "Give Peace a Chance: John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Bed-In For Peace." The exhibit, which is conveniently placed quite close to the 1969 Woodstock festival site, offers over 30 images of John and Yoko's protests for peace, including never-before-seen images of the couple during their 1969 "Bed-In" which took place for seven straight days in Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel. The exhibit also features new exempts from an interview conducted with the couple during their Bed-In by writer Charles Childs. The interview, unlike some photos, were due to run in Life Magazine, but never did. [Rolling Stone]
