According to Dailytelegraph.com.au, Australia’s Family Jewels, a new exhibition celebrating the history, music, performance and creativity of AC/DC, will open at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney on September 11.
“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,” said exhibition curator Tim Fisher.“AC/DC Australia’s Family Jewels links the material history of the band to the experience of their music. The exhibition also tries to convey the place that AC/DC holds for their devoted fans.”
AC/DC Australia’s Family Jewels features original material never before on public display, drawn from the collection of the Arts Centre Melbourne, the band themselves, the Albert Music archives, fans and private collectors, as well as other museums including the Powerhouse.
On display will be costumes, original instruments, stage props, photographs and rare hand-written material such as letters, notebooks and lyrics. Angus Young’s Gibson guitar, ‘Super-Ang’ costume and school boy outfit, and Bon Scott’s leather jacket are just a few of the all-time favourites that visitors will see first-hand.
