The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum dedicated a time capsule in honour of John Lennon containing several CDs, DVDs and books and two notes written by widow Yoko Ono.
The stainless steel capsule dedicated on Friday, the eve of what would have been Lennon's 70th birthday, will be kept in the Cleveland museum's archives at a nearby college campus.
Assistant curator Meredith Rutledge told The Plain Dealer that the goal of the capsule was to preserve the "legacy of peace and love" of the former Beatles member.
About 100 people attended the dedication, which marks the start of a weekend of events in honour of Lennon's birthday.
The capsule is scheduled to be opened in 2040, on what would have been Lennon's 100th birthday.
Lennon was killed in 1980 outside the New York City apartment building where he lived.
