September 16, 2011, 12 years ago
According to Theglaswegian.co.uk, AC/DC fans are set to descend on Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum as the Glasgow venue becomes the first outside Australia to host an exhibition dedicated to the rock band.
AC/DC: Scotland's Family Jewels opens to the public on Saturday and will run until next February.
Around 450 items are included in the exhibition, which has been approved by the band, including a leather jacket owned by the late singer Bon Scott, who was born in Kirriemuir, as well as hand-written lyrics to the hit Highway to Hell and more than two hours of songs and interviews.
The band are said to have a "deep history" with Glasgow, as the band's founding brothers Angus and Malcolm Young were born in the city.
Kelvingrove is the only scheduled European location on the exhibition's world tour and The Melbourne Arts Centre, which has previously played host, has worked with the Glasgow landmark in the past to help bring the Kylie Exhibition to Scotland.
Councillor George Redmond, chairman of Glasgow Life, which runs arts, sport and leisure services for the city, said: "We are delighted that the only European leg of the AC/DC exhibition world tour is at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum later this month.
