From 13 May until 1 October next year you can dive into the world of one of Britain’s greatest rock bands – Pink Floyd – at the V & A Museum as they team up with Iconic for spectacular exhibition
The V&A is staging an unprecedented, innovative and multi-sensory journey through Pink Floyd’s extraordinary worlds. It will chronicle the music, design and staging of the band, from their debut in the 1960s through to the present day. The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains is is the first international retrospective of one of the world’s most pioneering and influential bands, recognised as one of the top-selling artists of all time.
The exhibition has been produced with active involvement and collaboration from the three surviving band members and includes artefacts such as instruments, music technology, original designs, architectural drawings, hand-written lyrics, graphics and artwork.
Immersing visitors in Pink Floyd’s iconic visuals and sound, the exhibition begins with the psychedelic sounds of their early years, moving through their internationally renowned concept albums of the 1970s and beyond. The Pink Floyd Exhibition will illustrate the band’s pioneering use of special effects, sonic experimentation and powerful imagery, and explores the narrative arc of a band that began in London’s Swinging Sixties and whose influence continues today. Visitors will gain a unique insight into a group of world-class musicians who have always defied artistic boundaries.
