Step into the world of rock 'n roll history this weekend at O Museum in the Mansion, where May Pang will showcase an exclusive collection of photographs from her time with John Lennon during the iconic "Lost Weekend." This unique exhibit unveils moments captured during the 18-month affair that took place in Los Angeles, a period of freedom and self-discovery for Lennon.

At just 19, May Pang found herself thrust into the role of personal assistant to John Lennon and Yoko Ono. But as Lennon and Ono’s relationship began to crumble, Ono introduced Pang as Lennon’s temporary lover. The "Lost Weekend" was more than just a romantic entanglement—it was a transformative time for Lennon, who immersed himself in L.A.'s vibrant music scene and began to rebuild his bond with his estranged son, Julian.

This captivating exhibit will feature three never-before-seen photos of Lennon, along with additional images that document their time together. According to Pang, these images offer an intimate look at Lennon during a time of personal growth—capturing him in a relaxed, sober state as he reconnected with his music and his own sense of self. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience rock history through the lens of a woman who was there, witnessing it all.
