"EXHIBITIONISM" will run from April to September 2016 at the
Saatchi Gallery in the British capital, with some of the objects
said to be from the band's personal archives and never seen
before by the public.
Among the items on display from the legendary rock group which
formed in London in 1962 will be costumes, dressing room
paraphernalia, instruments, audio tracks as well as unseen video
clips, according to organizers.
Original poster and album cover artwork as well as personal
diaries will also feature.
A similar kind of exhibition dedicated to British singer David
Bowie's career opened in London in 2013 at the Victoria & Albert
Museum, drawing huge crowds.
"We've been thinking about it actually for quite a long time,
collecting things, thinking 'We better save this because we want
people to see it'," lead singer Mick Jagger said.
"It is a kind of look at your career. I think it's an
interesting time to do it. We have enough stuff, in fact too
much stuff."
"EXHIBITIONISM" is said to have taken three years of planning
and will spread over two floors at the gallery.
Tickets go on sale on July 10.
