AC/DC guitar god Angus Young would never make such a fuss perfecting his own tie but Melbourne Museum staff knotted it with latex-gloved hands.
Proving that big stage presence can come in small packages, one of Young's schoolboy stage costumes will be displayed on a mannequin sized for a 10-year-old as part of an exhibition opening at the museum on March 20.
The school uniform, once worn tight on Young's 158-centimetre-tall frame, is one of 1200 objects making up the museum's most expansive exhibition to date, The Melbourne Story.
AC/DC's guitarist Young formed the band with brother Malcolm in Sydney but the hard rockers' formative years were spent in St Kilda in the mid-1970s. One of Melbourne's lanes was renamed ACDC Lane in their honour in 2004.
