Melbourne rockers are in for a real treat, with the AC/DC Family Jewels exhibition making a pit stop at the city’s Art Centre next week.
The display includes costumes, instruments, props from the band’s live shows, candid photographs, and rare handwritten notes and lyrics. It also features rarely seen concert footage and interviews, early concert posters, and other cool collectibles.
Curator Tim Fisher says, “There is little doubt that after 35 years on the world stage AC/DC are by far Australia’s most successful and influential performing artists. AC/DC Australia’s Family Jewels seeks to link the material history of the band to the experience of their music. The exhibition will also try to convey – both through exhibited material and an interactive online initiative – the place that AC/DC holds for their devoted fans.”
You can catch AC/DC Australia’s Family Jewels at Melbourne Art Centre from November 7, 2009 to February 29, 2010.
