Experience Nirvana

10/18/2010
. (Gibson) Seattle's Experience Music Project has announced that they will stage an extensive exhibit about Nirvana next spring. Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses will begin April 16 and feature items the public has never seen relating to the influential grunge band, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

In a statement, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic said his late bandmate Kurt Cobain "was a visionary artist who touched people all over the world. It's great that there will soon be a collection that celebrates that contribution to music and culture."

The exhibit will bring together more than 200 items, including instruments used by Cobain, Novoselic and Dave Grohl. Cobain's handwritten lyrics, high school painting, reel-to-reel machine, sweater and more will be featured, as will the winged angel prop from the In Utero tour and a guitar used on the recording for MTV Unplugged. - more on this story
